Default Gopro Mounting spots f4i

Hey guys, I need some help with mounting my Gopro Hero to my F4i. I found a few nice spots to mount to but wanted to see if i can get a little help. one place I was using is too far back and i get most of my front end on the shot. and another spot, combined with what mounting brackets i have, only allows me to shoot semi directly forward. I figured I'd ask because i noticed some F4i's with the adhesive mounts on their fairings. any help would be appreciated.

I have a ram mount on the upper tank mount for my cam. but I have friends that have em mounted on the windscreen, upper fairing, tail fairing, side fairings, etc. all mainly using the suction mount that comes with the gopro. I also have a adhesive mount I use on the helmet n side fairings for my cam which isnt a gopro lol

I have seen those use too with good results. I just never liked the look of the bracket when the cam is not in use.

I have seen that kind of mount on ebay, but my windshield is almost nontransparent. i'd get a nice shot of the gauge display.

Well if you want people watching to feel like there with you, then a helmet cam is really the only option

On the flat spot on the bottom of your upper below your headlights make for some great video and a nice inconspicuous mounting location
