Brilliant idea. I'll be doing something similar. Thanks.

Just made my own from a bicycle handlebar mounted reflector, removed the reflector and inserted the bolt. though I later realized that due to my painted windscreen, I can only use that to record the side view or point it towards me.

I tried something similar last year when I went to Wales in the summer for a week. Link below is the one I followed:
HOWTO: Cheap Camera Handlebar Mount
I couldn't find a camera threat bolt so I used the top of one of those small camera flexi tripods you can buy at camera shops. I bolted it to the gizmo above and it worked well.

Since then I've got a Go Pro wide which I use on my off road bike and occassionally on my bike mounted to my helmet. They have one of the best mounting systems of all the current helmet cameras. We're going to Scotland this summer for 10 days and I'm going on my XJ6 so I'll put some pics up here.

Best use I've found so far for the Go Pro was to record my puppy when I left her alone in the kitchen. I soon realised that it is impossible to puppy proof your house to a determined puppy!!!

Just used my brother's camera to record some friends riding, youtube is processing my video. Thing that sucks is I have to record vertically, and when I edit the video I can then turn it horizontally. But I think I lose some image quality.
