    Default Patriot Guard Windshield Banner attachment

    I have been trying to figure out the best way to place the 6 x 24 (guessing on the dimensions) PGR banner across the windshield on my RT.

    I finally decided to make inquiry to the experts here, I know that there are other PGR members here, and perhaps I could profit from your experience.

    Thank you in advance,

    My wife and I haven't figured it out either. We put a flagpole on the trailer hitch.

    I rode with the PG for about a year until my back couldn't do the standing. I placed the banner across the outside of the windshield with the bottom edges tucked under the chrome window trim. there is just enough room. Then on the side edges I used those clamp type office document holders (two each side). finally i used two very tiny bungie cords stretched across behind the windshield connecting the holes in the banner. I hope this helps.

    I do the same exact thing, those clips he mentioned are binder clips, I got mine in silver and they don't show as much. If you try and go over the windshield brackets it creeps up and pops loose, I also lower the windshield a little so no vision obstruction. I also have the Rivco flag holders that bolt to the trunk and hold the 6"x9" flags.

    I used binder clips while I was still riding with them.

    I have seen many bikes spyder or not using the above mentioned binder clips allows for EZ adjustment pre & post escort, most do not use at highway speeds fyi, some also use small bungee cords & the clips (double secure) I chose the decal as I look right over my windshield anyway. Works for me. SmoothSpyder backrest holds my 8x12flag just great. Talk with your ride captin see if they may hay a temp one you can test out, or point you to another member can show you directly.

    Default PGR banner

    I just use the small bungies. I did go through shopping a number of them to get one small enough to
    provide enough tension to not "lose it". Mine stays in place easily at Highway speeds(70-80).

    Decided to put it across the top of the frunk with and placed a 6" strip of Velcro underneath on booth sides and on the banner, had it up to 73 mph without any problems. Never could find a good way to put on the windshield especially with my camera mounted behind the windshield.

    I Have a 2015 RT. I'm looking for flag mounts for my trunk. I do not have bolt holes.
    any idea?
