Great picture! How'd you get that mounted up?

Is that why the pictures are blurry? Mine do the same way on picture takin' mode.

i used several of the arm attachments to make it like a scorpion mount. then set it to UPd which makes it record upside down so when the camera is upside down its recording right side up. I need to get more curved mounts so as you can see in the pic i used the vent helmet strap. My visor has two slots that are perfect for the strap to go through. I also have a slot right in the middle on the top of the helmet which i put a skinny piece of velcro through so it holds the arm up against the bottom of the visor. Worked out really well. There was a litte bit of bounce that i noticed in the vid when i flipped the camera right side up so i can record forward tho.
Edit: here is a pic

i dont know excatly whats going on with yours but i noticed mine after seeing soemone elses pics and i went and tested it.. then i posted on the gopro forum and contacted gopro via emails. They had me first send a pic. Then they had me send them a short video of a sign or something with lettering. Then i got a email telling me to send in the camera to get a new replacement. this whole process took like 7 days inlcuding me shipping them mine and having a new on on my doorstep.... best customer service ive ever delt with.

Thanks a lot, Trav! I'll see what I can do, but I believe my warranty is up. Does that matter?

That mount looks great! Can you make that with the mounts they provide you wide in the Motorsports HD package?

yes warranty matters.
no you will need a couple arms to make it right. Could prolly improvise and turn the camera sideways maybe.

Especially aluminum sprockets. :shocked: That's why I've switched to steel. :ride:

I have a sunstar on my yamaha on the rear, and a gold DID chain, along with an unknown front sprocket (never looked). I had my bike over a year (May 2010) and clean my drive assembly everyride. Clean sprockets with gasoline and a brush, chain with slick 50 or WD40 and a brush then lube both up with chain lube. I have VERY VERY VERY little wear on all of it. My chain is still like new. I expect to see it all last a couple more years :ride: I'll get you guys a picture after a good cleaning.
