Wife and I both belong to Patriot Guard Riders plus will be riding in the Branson, MO Veteran's Parade in a few weeks so I needed to design flag holders for her '08 RS. Here's the results of my brain storming.
First a list of material for each pole: 42" piece of 1/2" thinwall conduit, 42" piece 3/4" thinwall conduit, 1/2" conduit connectors, 3/4" conduit connector, 3/16" x 1 1/4" eyebolt, two 5/16 x 1 1/4" bolts and nuts, 4 5/16" fender washers, 1 1/2 x 1/16" aluminum stock.
Flatten about 2" of one end of the 3/4" conduit and drill a 5/16" hole in that end.
Run a 1/2" drill through the 1/2 in connector to remove the stop in the center of the connector. Also lightly touch each point of the hex section of that connector so that it will fit inside of the compresion nut of the 3/4" connector (remove the compresion ring from inside of one of the 3/4" nuts.) Insert the 1/2" connector on one end of the 3/4" connector and secure in place by tightening the nut. Position that assembly on the open end of the 3/4" conduit and secure with compression ring and nut.
Cut two pieces of aluminum stock about 7" long drilling 5/16" holes so that just inside the open saces on the footpeg mounts. I J-B Welded fenderwashers and the 5/16" bolts to ne of the finished plates just for ease of assembly. Two u-bolts J-B welded to a piece of 1" PVC conduit split lengthwise secure the upper part of the pole to the passenger hand hold.
