Yep, that's an option I thought about and will definitely test....but the view is quite high up, while I would like to film the view from the fuel tank....
Thanks. I would have never thought that the suction cup could work on the 899...I tried it on the monster 696 and didn't hold on. I guess it depends also on the shape of the tank...
I found the helmet mount works until you hit about 80 mph, then the wind really start pulling my helmet up. Having that camera on top really kills the aerodynamics.
I would agree with you that it's a great place to put it but if you have the silk white 899, it's a matte paint and not gloss. Not sure how well the suction cup would actually stick. Anyone tried it already? Curious to know
The paint finish will have nothing to do with it. I can mount the suction cup to the dash of my vehicle and it will adhere correctly. Here's the science behind it: A small pocket of air forms between the suction cupdown and the tank, but no air can get in. Therefore an amount of gas occupies more volume and it has less pressure inside than on the outside. The air pressure from outside pushes the suction cup stronger from the outside than from the inside, so there is a down force pushing the suction cup against the tank or any other surface. Since air has less pressure inside than out, that is what creates the suction. Any questions
Dude, you lost me after "the science behind it"!!!!!! J/K! I appreciate the facts. I'm gonna try it myself. Before I was afraid that it would stick to a matte finish so I never tried it cause the last thing I want is my GoPro to fall off on the freeway or something! Haha! Awesome bro, thanks!The paint finish will have nothing to do with it. I can mount the suction cup to the dash of my vehicle and it will adhere correctly.

So I did a lot of research here and decided to buck the GoPro trend and went for a Garmin Virb Elite.Hi all,
Has anyone of you already used a GoPro camera on your 899? If so, what did you use to mount it and where did you place it?
It looks pretty much impossible to mount it onto the handlebars....
Thanks!
Ha, I'm glad you enjoyed that trip back to physics class! However, I simply applied the theory and hypothetical reasoning. Don't get mad at me if your gopro falls off at your next track day
! but it does and the camera can face both ways.)...honestly looks like there's no space or enough flat area to stick it to.
Miss F, apparently the chest support is not great as the camera can't stabilise properly and it needs a solid base!Awesome let me know. So far I tried the big roll bar mount and it works...on the mirror
Not entirely sure about the suction cup (no matter what science says
Otherwise I'm thinking of the chest support....?
)
Ahaha, very true!
