I just ordered my GoPro today and I want o ask you guys where is the best place to install it on the bike.

Not sure I like that suction mount in top of the gas tank - don't want to shot thru the windshield. (I've done some videos like that with my own camera and when the bike goes against the sunlight, you see the light reflecting into all the scratches of the plastic, killing the image completely).

The suction mount mounted below headlights on the plastic faring could be cool, but I noticed when I wash the bike those plastics vibrates a lot, and amplified by the length of the suction mount arm I think it will be a disaster.

I've seen other bikers installing them at the base of the windshield on the outside with one of those sticky mounts. Looks good - anyone did that on a FZ? Is it possible?
What other places you successfully tried?

Please feel free to advice.

Thank you.

I mount it on the windscreen, on the tank, on the side of the fairing, (my favorite) on the pods, (side covers) Here's a pic with it mounted on the side of the fairing. The are so many creative ways to mount it. Oh yeah, as mentioned, the helmet.
Because it's a 170 degree it will make you a$$ look big! or should I say bigger! Haha. It's a great camera. Check out my channel on Youtube. I usually do just short lil clips and I'm not fancy at editing...

I think you can see it in this pic on the side of the fairing...
