Danny, check out MountGuys.com for a selection of mounts. A good starting point with a fairly decent selection.

Hi, Mr. Danny.
Here are some of my experience for the bike-camera-mounting.

1. Need to have very steady mounting; those mouting at the web site Mr. WW mentioned looks very good.
2. Try to find best spot on your bike; depends on the bike, the less vibration spot seems different.
For my bike, I found a spot which is just bellow the side mirror.
Mostly, bike body frame is good spot as long as I experienced. You can touch your hand while bike is running, and could feel the vibration intensities.
Try to throttle up and feel by touching it.
So, Ram-Mounting is one of good choice. And sucktion-cup mounting at the gas-tank is another good choice.
This is just my opinion.. ha ha ha.
3. If you feel that you can have Helmet-Mounting >>> it is the best place which vibration would not appear at all.

Now you have good steady mounting. >> most engine vibration would be removed with good mounting.

However, you may have some problem if your camera tri-pod socket is not well ditributed spot.
Or, if your camera weight is little heavy, or your camera height/width (propotional to the tripod socket) are little tall or wide.
When bike meets bump/wind/sudden movement
>> camera will still vibrate(shake) even though with good mounting
>> if your camera is mounted without additional supports. >> this is my experience >> not sure for you camera.
For me,
I added some additional camera suppots; (and hard rubbers between camera and plate, then use velcro to tight them)
Wooden plate that supports camera side, and added string dampers at the end of the wooden plate and these strings goes to my side mirror.
Some experiments, these string damper works very well for me; you can use some high tension metal springs ???
These string dampers are very tightly attached and will remove directional vibration, and has some stopper function against continueous vibration.

Here is the photos of my current mounting.

This is the very first test of my new camera mounting. (current mounting looks different from this... ha ha ha)
As you see, my cam shape is very strange >> I had many problems.. ha ha ha



Thanks

Busy, you had many problems to overcome but the end results are fantastic. We rarely see such good videos.
