You should attach the camera on the side of the fairing towards the bottom at the front. Does that make sense? You know the part that sticks out toward the front wheel. And the front wheel should be seen on the side of the screen.
When watching racing, that's the coolest perspective I've seen. You can see your inputs to the front wheel during turns. You can also see it compress during braking and rise during acceleration.

not really, could you put an arrow on this pic where it goes?

Where the "KI" for Suzuki is on your bike. Or in that general area. I wish I could find a video with an example of how cool it looks.

Mount it on the frame sliders... cause... well... it'll be a cool angle... or at least there's a 50:50 chance it'll be a cool angle.

Seriously though, fixed cameras on bikes tend to give kinda lame videos... helmet cam is the way to go if you can do it. If you do the fixed bike cam, frame slider isn't bad. Tank bag camera is another option.

the helmet cam can be cool, but it can be annoying as hell to watch if you're not steady or looking all over the place. get two cameras, mount one on your helmet and one on the side and edit the two feeds together.

the wheel camera is cool but only as cut scenes. i would say tank bag cam if you can only have one. best results would be 70% tank bag camera
15% front wheel camera, and 10% chase vehicle footage, and 5% topless girls. (maybe more than 5%)

i think i should get something that is easy to move around so i can try different angles.

will this work?

Verm, the videos section of that site has a clip that is similar to the angle he is talking about, it is a cool angle.

Yeah, that first video is a great example. But it would only look cool during a track day. Not for just some boring daily ride.
