Crazy, question but where/how are you placing flags on your SPYDERS??? I belong to the Patroit Guard and Red Knights and would like to display the flags on my bike. I have the corbin bags so the passenger handles are out.:2thumbs:

I've struck out too. I have the Corbin fender so the license plate isn't an option for me. Most of the flag mounts are made for sissy bars. :(

On the license plate...look for my pics somewhere here...lemme see...

Oh, the back of the bike was apart as this was the time I was putting in NMN/ESI's rear brake lights...

I got these from www.bikerforlife.com Robert Harvey is the owner...great guy...I think his site is down right now, but I have his email, if you need it...

I got mine directly from Rumbling Pride (http://www.rumblingpride.com/)I have two TCM 22s with 14" flag staffs. Flags have a lifetime guarantee. They are Harvey's source. Check out the ones for Ultra Cruisers

In HDX's world, none of us who ride together get a flag unless we earn it. Well since I broke 100 a few times up and down the highway, I got mine!:2thumbs: He stuck it behind the plate and the plate holder, there's a zip tie holding it but you can't see it. Right now it's all tattered to bits and I wanted a new flag but HDX says that the tattered means I ride it like a big girl now.:clap:

I also belong to the PGR group.. Here is how I installed my flag:

Remember that the Cotton flags are heavy and cause a LOT of drag and might just break the mast. (just had a report of 4 flag masts breaking during a PRG funeral due to higher than normal speed travel). I've had my bike up to 55 w/o any problems with my Wally World flag waving proudly....

Just one of many ideas.

Here are somantennae flag mounts the first fits on to a trailer mount

http://www.wingstuff.com/pgroup_detail/3736_Motorcycle_Trailer_Hitch_Parade_Flag_Holder


This allows you to mount a small flag on you radio antenna if you have one
Kuryakyn part# 4217 Antenna Mount Flag


This is the worst web site with what I think is the best mount. It mounts to your license plate holder but I can think of a few other places to mount it and its 19.95 with free shipping. A US flag and flag staff is included.

i thought this topic was a bit familiar, so I did a search. The search feature is your friend. This board has been around a while and lots of good information has been touched upon. I find that a lot of threads are being created when a search could have turned up better results.

Anyway... check this thread

also this post.
