For what it's worth, I have talked to all of my friends at this issue. It took awhile, but we formally filed a complaint with BBB. Do I see a resolution on the horizon? Not really. I just chalk it up as one of life's lessons. My apologizes to the OP. My intent was not to hi-jack your thread. Just thought I would put the word out about a "non-sponsor vender".

I will be sure to remember this in the future. As always, thanks for "another" batch of good advice!!

John, I am shocked to hear they still haven't delivered . . . by the way, we need to get together for lunch, someday this summer, since I missed the March 22 Brunch because of mechanical problems . .

When a company refuses to talk to you on the phone, when they don't respond to emails, and when they don't even respond to "snail-mail"...I thinks it's about time to put them on blast!!!!! My next door neighbor's daughter taught me that saying. It sounds more cool when she says it!
Back to the point, "Buyer Beware" when it comes to Bumbling Pr....,I mean Rumbling Pride. Nuff Said!!
Perhaps a few emails from this community to Rumbling Pride, stating that we'll never buy from them unless they make good your order, John? I'll leave it up to you . . . put your name in a response, and, perhaps, an order number, so we can send emails to them that tell them who's order we are upset about? They have an email address at their web site: sales@rumblingpride.com . . . this community, and the Spyder folks on facebook, could probably get their attention!

I am running four flags on the back of the Spyder..........two are on a mount that is behind the license plate. The unit is chrome and came from Custom Cruiser or Cruiser Customs ( can't remember which). I have 5 x 9 flags on them, Patriot Guard and MIA flags. I also have the Rivco Flag Mount that mounts under the rear trunk and run 10 x 15 American flags on them. The flags came from the Flag Store on the internet. They are not highway rated but I have had no problem with them running 65 miles/hr. Any faster I just coil them up and put a couple of heavy duty rubber bands around them until I get where I'm going. Hope this helps

You can also try the Honda Motorcycle Dealership. That's where I got mine from and they fit my RT-S fine.
Good luck.

I have the Show Chrome 3rd and 4th break lights. So there is a strip of LEDs going around the trunk lid crack. Pretty sure a trunk lid flag mount wont work with these lights strips being there.
So I am looking for the tall flag license plate type mount.

I have looked at many options too but it is hard to let go of that much green. Uncle Sam seems to like to take more than his fair share which is really crimping our bike budget. That and having two to outfit with these items hurts.

If you have a luggage rack on top of your trunk, there are mounts available that attach to those.

If you ever get time, we would love to see what your adaptation looks like. We're always concerned about the amount of vibration and metal stress on the un-sprung hitch, but it's always GREAT to see the forum members' innovations!

Here is another side to this unfortunate sale... I have ordered 6 flags and 4 mounts from Rumbling Pride with fast and complete service. I cannot say anything bad about them.

At SpyderFest this year I introduced my Seal Parade Guard Flag Holders. The Flag pole tubes have LED light strips on hem that act as running, turn and flashers. They are designed for the large 3x5 Flags and attach to your ball hitch. Check my website and

Ride in comfort,
