There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

When I have ridden with the Patriot Guard I just fly my small flags on my ISCI Flag Mount. I don't think the PGR cares what size flag you fly just that you show up.

I've been a member of the American Legion Riders since it's inception and I also fly 3 flags from the trailer hitch mount...You can find all your accessory needs here at the American Legion Riders website for the store...

Does this device fit on the Spyder? If not, can you provide the URL for the device that does? Very interested for my RT.
I made a pole to fit my hitch. Used a six foot threaded bar, nuts, washers, clips, and a cheep flag pole to put together. I have ridden at speeds up to 75 MPH with no problem to the pole. The flag will tear at the ends, but it was a cheep flag too.

I had a set made for my Wing (See below). They should be able to hook to about any ball hitch (less the ball) as I've used them on truck's reese hitch. I pick up my hitchless spyder tomorrow. It wont' be hitchless for long. The price isn't for the faint of heart though. I have run these on my Wing at 80+ (with police escort) and never had a problem or ever worry about them.
They are cast and come about in three sections via quick pins.
I bought them in '10 so I'm not sure if they are still making flag poles and mounts.
The contact info is:

Ask for Kevin ([email protected]) and let him know your with the PGR.
Note: I buy all my US and military flags from Eagle Mountain flags in Texas (http://www.eaglemountainflag.com/) as they are made in the USA.

ISCI has a flag holder for RT's...they are a SL sponsor. (There is a recent thread about it under the RT section on here that talks about it).
Our RS has a flag holder that Ed made and mounted on the right side of the Spyder near the passenger floorboard. He has it attached to the passenger handgrips via velcro tape.

Yes...It fits on the Spyder via the trailer hitch...It's the same link I provided above...It's very sturdy and I carry 3 flags all the time with no problem up to speeds of 80 mph...Just make sure the flags you get are designed to withstand the winds at high speed...No prob with the standard American Flag or the POW flaf...Gotta watch your stiching.

I made mine with a upright from Rivco. If others are interested, I can try to post here or send a PM.
I think it is better to buy a good Flag, then treat the trailing edge with FRY EDGE. It is a seam sealer for sewing. I got mine at Wal Mart. It slighly changed the MIA flag, but none of the others. Mine has seen several thousand miles of flying Oldmanzues

I guess I'm just not seeing it. This link goes to a flag holder that does not use the trailer hitch.

How does it mount on the Spyder trailer hitch?

Another view...Connects with the ball...

Thats a nice (and pricey) unit. But what poles do you use?

I use modified standard flag folks...shortened but I believe they also have some on the site...Not quite sure...Many folks go to Menard's or other hardware store and get PVC pipe and use eye hooks with them...works just as well

So is everyone saying there is no flag mount for a Spyder without the use of a trailer hitch to fly 3 X 5's?

Starrider made these flag pole mounts for my RS..I use them from time to time in lieu of my flag holder...They work great...telescoping...He did a great job on these...

Having a hard time seeing how they are connected. They appear to be going through the rear grip and then attached somewhere by the rear foot peg. I wish they had a better collapsible pole for the honor line. Those 6 ft > 18 in poles with the O rings inside are worthless after a few uses.
