    Default Flags

    I would like to mount 2 flags on the rear of the bike. I suppose the rear fender mounting bolt holes would be a good place. Has anyone mounted any car flags to their bikes and what was your outlet for the flag(s). I want to mount the American and Christian flag in time for Memorial Day.

    What the heck does a Christian flag look like? I wasn't aware that religions now have flags...does it have a fish on it?

    I assume that you want to display the American flag because you are a patriotic person and so you would want to have a look at this link.

    Default Flag mounts

    Spyderbob3 mounted his flags this way.
    First pic. is his brackets - He bolted his in so vibration wouldn't loosen bolts
    Second pic. is where he had to file away about 3/4-1" but no more - there is a gap on side where metal fits into. Bob says does not hurt watertight intergity.
    third pic is flags mounted (he has American flag & POW Flag). can't see them very well but they are there.

    While at my local accessory shop, Renegade Classics, I saw a license plate mount flag holder by Rumbling Pride

    http://www.rumblingpride.com/PDFs/Ul...chure_2007.pdf

    http://www.rumblingpride.com/Ultra_C...ing_System.htm

    Thinking about getting them for my Spyder.
    I think I would rather get these than cut away parts of my spyder to make things work, like the brackets above. Plus, not every one has the sport rack on their spyder.

    This would work for all spyders, with or without the sport rack.

    Default 2012 Spider RT Flag Mount.

    I have been working on a flag mount that goes behind the license plate. First I made a plate to mount the tag to. I got four clamps from Lowes, 2 3/8 x 36 aluminum rods, 2 collars with set screws to keep flag at desired height, 2 acorn cap nut to put on top, 6 1/4 x 20 bolts 4 @ 1/2 inch and 2 @ 1 1/2 Inch. the four 1/2 attach to flag pole and the license plate and mount. the 2 1 1/2 inch attach the license plate to bike. I will attach some photo I have other photo if any is interested. I have less than $30.00 in this project.

    Hope this works
    Larry
