First of All, nice install!
The Front Camera- From the picture I can see you have mount and bracket. How about to make the bracket to be longer? Does it help to move mount & lens ahead?
The Rear Camera- Do you have other placement to mount it?
Innovv - you should put a caution note in the packaging about mounting camera above front fender. Users should find out what the travel distance is on their front shocks and make sure that the camera does not intrude into the space above the fender below that travel distance or sooner or later the camera/mount is going to come in contact with the fender. As well, on Harley Davidson Touring bikes from 2014 and newer the Driving Light/Turn Signal bar (shown in an image below) has been eliminated. This has been, historically, been the only good place to mount a camera so it has an unobstructed view - many mount cameras on their fairings, but there is far more vibration to contend with when using that mount point.. Some effort should be made to design a suitable mount for these newer Harleys and sold as an optional part.
I'm utilizing the bracket provided. I could build my own and redesign where everything sits but currently I'm demonstrating the limitations of current equipment. The back part is limited in placement due to available mount points while also attempting to somewhat conceal the cameras.
It will be interesting to learn your own built bracket, and looking forward to seeing.
Many riders are skilled like you.

For the front mount I had to be a little creative, but I believe it worked out well.
The camera just clears the top fender when recording. Once I perform more test, it may have to be adjusted. Results pending...
For the rear I wanted the video to be centered with the bike. The mounts included worked out well for the rear. I'll leave the camera here, until I get pulled over for blocking the license pate. :) After all it is 'New Jersey' USA..
@Louis Goffredo Cool install!
Too late, test ride yesterday. Totally forgot about that... Lesson learned and sharing, so other don't make the same mistake.
I moved the camera to bar above. I'll post a picture soon.
Most touring bikes I have looked at do not have much additional space between the fender and the frame beyond the distance required to allow for shock travel. Crossover, offroad, and many sport bikes are a whole different story with lots of space beyond what is needed for shock travel. I installed an emergency light on the Driving Light/Turn Signal bar on my 2011 Harley Electra-Glide and it protruded only 1/2 inch below that bar's lowest point and it still came in contact with the fender after I hit a deep pothole I could not avoid.
Understood! Thanks for sharing.
Can you check what the at least the space/clearance should be?
I am thinking to make the mount to be a bit shorter.
New location for now.
It is very firmly mounted on hand bar.
Do you want to adjust the lens a bit? I can see the logo on lens is not top, moved a bit.
I went with RAM ball attachments,
Looks cool! Ram mount is the best.
The RAM Ball mounts are available with 1/4-20 and 6mm studs. Both feel sloppy in the INNOVV mount threaded holes. Which did you use for your installation?
1/4-20 worked fine for me.
Thanks. Sorry about the fender.
There is nothing wrong with my fender.
Skuuuz me. Thought I was conversing with the owner of the other Harley.
You are, however, I do not have a dent in my fender.
The Orange Harley with a dent.
To match with the most mounts on market, the thread we made was 1/4-20" and the screws with such thread is not easy to be found from the local stores.
M6 is very common, and have been thinking to replace the 1/4-20 to be M6.
M6 and 1/4-20 are readily available here in the backwoods of Florida. Both were a loose fit.
