I purchased the Drift Ghost and mounted it with a 1 inch Ram Ball. I just looked thru all the mounts at Garmin GPS & Accessories, RAM Mounts, Lowrance GPS, TomTom GPS at GPS City and found what I needed.
I mounted in center of steering nut with one of there cheap ball mounts and then went to hardware store and bought a folding wing nut and screw to mount it with. No need to pay $80.00 for ball mount as this works great. I got a 2 inch extention for the 1 inch ball and put a ball with 1/4 x 20 screw and plate to mount camera. I think I spent a total of $35.00 for complete mount.

Unfortunately I spent the extra money on the Ram Fork stem base even though I was told it wouldn't fit. I can use the extra stem parts on my fiddy and add a beer holder.
There are many options from GPScity that may have worked too. I went with this one https://www.gpscity.com/ramb342 took away the plug and added a 3/16" bolt and folding wingnut you can get at any hardware store.

Clever!
I got a Hero3 for Christmas and that would've been a good solution. But, I put the smoked windscreen on before the I got the camera and now I'm not sure what I'm going to do.

very easy, cut a square of plastic. Drill an hole in the middle and then use this thing here to fix it in the nut hole.

Have you even tried it? I used to have a dark smoke screen on my GSXR and even the old video camera I had filmed straight through the near black screen with no issues. You shouldn't have any problems.

There's a cap at the bottom of the triple clamp.

That Home Depot screw/wingnut is what Brickcues and I are referring to. (in conjunction with the Ram Mounts)

That's a good thought, but I think if I put in on the tank to overlook the windscreen it will be in the way. I might try it out. I also have the adhesive mounts and may try that somewhere. But, not sure how secure they would be on the road.

I didn't ride with it, but put it on to see. It might work if the entire view is through the windscreen, but with the newer camera wide angle lens, the edges of the field of view are about +3-4 stops. So, the camera tries to account for the brightness and then the windscreen view is even darker.
