Please remember that if you fly our Flag it needs to be either in the center or on the right side of the operator for proper display. So in that case I would agree with Doc.
The RSCI is rather pricey. I've considered this for another option. Do you think the license plate holder is strong enough to support this type flag holder?

The ISCI may be pricey but it was made specifically for the RT. The one you show looks like the flag flies straight up which won't work on the RT as it will hit the rear trunk. The ISCI holder mounts the flag on the proper angle to give clearance needed for the trunk.

As per flag etiquitte, it can be flown from any position on the vehicle as long as its the tallest flag and no others are flown to the right side of it.

The new ISCI holders slant back nicely. The original ones were positioned straight up. Doc and I just recieved our new parts and the holders are great now. Many thanks to ISCI for the parts.

Really! That antenna flag holder is only $32. If flying the flag on the left side of the bike is acceptable, sounds like that would be the way to go. Thanks!

Left side is perfectly acceptable. Just can't fly another on the right side.

Great Idea , I do not know USA flag protocal so I hope that this idea would meet the protocal.
As for US flags, as long as they are the highest on the vehicle, and no other flag is being displayed to the right of them, you are good to go. I deal with this a lot on the boat, traveling into foreign countries.
Sorry about this folks, but I disagree about some of the above mentioned opinions regarding the placement of the USA flag on the rear of a motorcycle due to some very personal and private experiences
I have been active with the AMA, CMA, Blue Knights, GWTA, GWRRA, AmVetRiders, and ABATE for more than just a few years now. Each of these organizations have always suggested the following...
Single flag:
The ideal placement of a single USA flag upon a motorcycle is
dead center at a rear regardless of vertical reference (how high or how
low it is mounted on the rear of the motorcycle). Mounting of a single
USA flag may also be placed on the right side of the motorcycle,
preferably the highest of all options. But it SHOULD NEVER be mounted
on the left(clutch) side!
Two flags:
The USA flag may be mounted on the rear of a motorcycle with any
other flag providing that,
A: The USA flag is always mounted on the right side of the motorcycle and
B: The second flag must be mounted on the left side at an equal or less vertical height.
Three flags:
When mounting Three flags to the rear of a motorcycle, and one of the three being a USA flag, the following should (read MUST) always be
observed ...
A: The flag of the USA be placed dead center between the two on
each side and
B: When ever possible the center mast should be at least ten percent
taller in height than the other two.

No, I do not believe so. The licence plate holder is designed to hold the llicence plate and is not strong enough to hold the flag.
I got the ISCI flag/license plate holder mounted at Spyderfest. Excellent quality...and love that I can display our awesome flag in such a proud way on my RT. Highly recommend the ISCI products...super quality.

+1 for the ISCI Holders. Got them on the RT and the trailer
I purchased the ISCI dual flag holder (tall version) for my RT at SpyderFest 2011. Comes with American and SpyderFest flags. I will sell mine for $75 + shipping (US 48 states only) to anyone interested. I will accept PayPal. Drop me a PM if interested.
