Yes, I think I found what I was looking for. Jim and Gunny brought up a good point about reaching the camera issue, so I have decided to go with a review view mirror mount. I have an existing video camera that will auto flip the image, so I am golden on that front. I should have the mount next week, I will do a test fit and report back.

The upper edge of the windshield position gave a good forward view, with just enough hood showing.

That is true, Jim, that reaching the camera buttons with it mounted on the harness bar is very difficult. Especially with a helmet on. Go Pro sells a remote fob but I hate spending the money on those accessories. Maybe a windshield mount makes sense. --Bob

Well I mocked up my camera mount today (since its F'n snowing again) and I think this will work fine. I haven't been able to drive with it yet to check how bad the camera vibrates of if a bumpy road will pull the camera down. If it doesn't work, I can use the mount for the Harley

That looks good. When weather lets up check to see if you're getting the view you want ... you might want to get the camera angle slightly higher (if possible).
