I'm reviewing & explaining the best 5 GoPro action camera mounts for Harley-Davidson and other motorcycles. I have used different GoPro action camera mounts for many years now on my Harley-Davidson. We use these GoPro mounts when filming videos for the Law Abiding Biker™ YouTube Channel and when filming our motorcycle documentary films. From my years of experience using these motorcycle GoPro mounts, I'll break it down for you so you can find the GoPro action camera mount that will work best for you and your motorcycle.
Note: Check out my Best 5 GoPro Action Camera Mounts for Harley-Davidson Video at the bottom of this article!
Understand, there are a ton of variables when using GoPro mounts and how well the footage comes out is dependent on many things; different motorcycle models, years, motors, mount location, vibration, camera models, camera settings, and angles are just a few of the variables to consider.
I will say that whether you're producing professional videos like me or you're just a hobbyist capturing motorcycle trip footage to later share with family and friends, I guarantee there is a GoPro action camera mount for you and your Harley.
Note: I will strongly suggest that you don't get the cheaply made GoPro brand tube/bar mounts. They are cheaply built, break often, and are severely overpriced of course. Trust me, I tried to use them many years ago and ended up throwing away a box or parts. They are frustrating and vibrate badly when mounted to a motorcycle. GoPro makes okay cameras, but many of their mounts are lacking.
I strongly suggest you check out Law Abiding Biker Podcast Episode #177 where we discuss in detail each of the mounts I am discussing in this article.

Good video, yet again. I really like the look and location of the Ciro Fairing camera mount but that little camera at the end of a stud into a weak nut under the windshield concerns me. That’s a lot of vibration on what appears to be a potential failure point in the windshield stud nut. Evert had a problem with this?
Also, was Ram Mount passed over for a reason, or is it just not what you stock? I’ve used them for over a decade with no failures, and I really like their mounting options, (but they don’t have a windshield mount either)
