To make the mount bracket, I cut and bent a sheet of aluminum from Lowes. Then, got a small travel tripod from Wal-Mart for $15 and mounted the head on the bracket. Luckily, it's all metal. I took advantage of a bolt underneath the front gas tank mount for the bracket. Took it out for a test run today and it works great. Loosen a wing nut and the camera mount pops off. Also very easy to aim it up or down and tighten it back up with the grip on the fly.

Looks really clean - good job! Maybe adding a foam dampener would reduce the shakiness.
