    Default Any American Flag mounting suggestions?

    I have an F3-S and I would like to add an American Flag mount somehow to my bike, but seems unless I install an Ugly luggage rack
    I don't have a way to mount the flag holder support.
    I had the flag on my motorcycle for years and I miss it!
    Open for suggestions

    The Pro Pad has a license plate mount: https://www.thepropad.com/license-pl...unt-reversible

    They also have a lot of other things for bikes.

    Rivco makes one as a license plate bracket for two flags.

    Which mount do you have 9" or 13" ? Pros and cons of clearing the fender? Question is about pro pad mounts?

    I use two of the 13in mounts, one for each side of my plate. Each will hold two 6X9 flags or one 10X15. They have no problem with the fender on my RTL.

    I don't have one as yet, but I think the 9" would work.
    I got a website from a member that will attach to the
    tag.

    I want to stick to a cloth flag as I had on my previous bike.
    I have a red, white and blue American Eagle on my windshield that is a transparent decal
    and it is Awesome!
    I just want to finish it off with an American Flag, kinda coming and going effect.

    Just went to Rivco.com and checked out the bracket.
    The bracket is 18" wide. Did you purchase one for your Spyder?
    If yes, does the 18" width interfere with anything?

    I have an F3T that I added the trunk to. The Rivco fits between the saddle bags fine. I did cut 3 inches off the posts to fit underneath the trunk. Flags fit perfectly.

    The width from side to side is 12 inches, the height of the the flag pole is 9 inches from top of the pointed nuts to the bout. Let me know if you want pictures via text or email.

    The main thing with the decal I have is that it is transparent so you
    can see through it on your windshield.
    Others are just decals; not what I wanted Dave.
    Rick custom made the decal 10 x 10 as I asked and
    also perforated.
    The bike is in the shop, but I do have a picture and will
    be glad to send it via email as it is on my computer.

    Okay...Question.... I bought the Rivco flag holder. The poles slant back on either side of my tail piece. (F3t) If you cut 3 inches off, what end did you cut, and what about the threads???

    I cut the top off and rethreaded the posts so the tops screw back on. Then just center it up on the license plate bracket.
