I have designed a mount for my GoPro that is quite steady, does not have vibration noises, and the camera is mounted ahead of the windshield, thereby avoiding the distortion of the windshield. It is made from some aluminum sheet metal. The fixture mounts under the two bolts that hold the right side rear view mirror onto the fairing. Since the mirror also mounts to the metal framework under the fairing, it is quite rigid. Also the rubber on the mirror base help to further dampen any vibrations.
I did have the camera mounted to the center section of my handle bars. The video was surprisingly steady, but the audio was not good - the high frequency vibrations that occur at some RPMs in the handlebars, although not bad, would still create a resonance in the camera housing that made an irritating buzzing noise. Also the distortion of the windshield. On the plus side - it was nice being able to see the speedometer and tachometer.
