GoPro motorsports hero 2 mounting ideas

[Red Devil]

Recently got a GoPro hero 2 (motorsports edition) and was wondering what places people have tried mounting them? I have two mounts on my helmet, one on top and one on the side, just behind the visor. Pretty happy with the footage from these two mounts (there's a video of footage from the top mount in the video section from a bit of wheelie practice) but looking for some ideas of where else to mount it to get some cool shots!

Going to try out a rear facing mount at the weekend (with bikes in the shot behind) placed just behind the rear seat and might see what the forward view from there is like as well. Also tried out the suction cup on the front wing of a car facing backwards which gave some pretty cool footage...any other ideas/places people have tried out and liked?

low down at the front of the fairing, so the view shows a little bit of front wheel and the rest ahead/road.

think that looks good on footage and can get some nice footage on cornering.

I'm on a naked Fz6 so no side fairings, might try out using one of the sticky pad mounts on the frame though!

I've placed one of the mounts on the side of the front fender/mudguard; great shot of the road ahead - shows part of the fender and wheel too and being low really provides a good sense of speed!

I must admit, I was nervous it would fall off though at first.
But happily it seems to have stuck well.

I have a GoPro Hero2 in my 4x4 but still haven't taken it out of its box yet, still using my Hero1. Looking forward to getting the remote control when it's released next month.

I've got an HD170 with an UltraClamp which I've tried in a few places.

I think it's good to have some part of the bike in shot, even just a little corner of the fairing but I particularly like it when you can see the suspension working so pointing low past the back wheel from one of the pillion pegs like this for example. I've also got videos on there pointing forwards from the grab handle and from the mirror arm with a bit of fairing in shot.
