I want to mount a flag on my 24 up touring. Its got the quick release hardware and a tribal rack on the back. I want to mount a 10inch or so flag (I think every H-D should have one). My thoughts are -
1) Does someone make something that could go on the Tribal rack? its thicker than the regular racks, it would require a 1 inch or so mount.
2) Does anyoen make quick release mount that could go into the front of the H-D quick release? I don't really want to run with a bitch back rest all the time, I like how the bike is low and lean.
3) Has anyone mounted a flag into the same screw that mounts the seat? I'm not sure that that single screw would hold a flag with the wind pushing it..
Sorry my sig pic doesn't have the rack (or my new pipes) on it..

I also like to fly the stars&bars, so I moved the setup I had on my Heritage Classic over to the new RG. However, I'm looking for other options because the flags don't really stream behind the bike. I think there's some turbulant air behind the bags and fender, so the flags kind of just flop around, as opposed to be stretched out in the wind. I'm also concerned that my tail lights may be obscured by the flags, which could lead to being rear ended or perhaps draw the ire of our local LEO's.
Just yesterday though, I found a pair of bases on ebay that I think just might fit on the quick release base. If that doesn't work, then I'll consider attaching the quick release rack and using a pair of bar mounts.
