Default Installing front & rear cameras, any ideas for placement?

Hello!
I am brand new to this forum.. this is actually my first post!
I am installing a Sykik motorcycle camera system on my bike this weekend.. I have a 2001 Dyna Wide Glide. I am just curious if anyone out there has installed something similar.. If so, where did you mount the cameras?
This is what I am installing...

Thanks!!

Interesting setup... It's amazing how inexpensive this stuff has gotten. Sorry, no experience with it, but welcome aboard...

Post a picture of your WG somewhere!

That looks like a nice system - may have to consider that myself.

I have an action cam mounted on a Ram mount. I saw this last week and thought it was pretty cool (but pricey).

I am set for now, but if I were looking for a cam solution I might go with something like this Go Pro knock-off, they have pretty good reviews.

Those are really cool, but I wanted the dual cameras to record everything around me. Plus it's cheaper! Lol!

I'd mount the front camera on the bottom of the lower tree. Not sure about the rear, maybe taillight area ?

Thinking of mounting it under the headlight in the front, and to the brake light in the back.. I am thinking of making custom mounts for both. I will record what we do, because I haven't been able to find a way to install it on a Harley!! I'll keep ya updated!

Front here ^

Rear on the back of the sissy bar pad - should be able to drill for - then tap 1/4 - 20 or similar machine screws

And no I haven't (too much incriminating ****) - just throwing out a suggestion
