I know this is only semi related but I wear the one on my vest on the right side reversed. Which causes alot of people to tell me that I'm wrong. But being active army like a cpl others on here I wear it that way same as we do on our uniforms.

Thanks for the service! And as a fellow military member, I have only one thing to say with the flag on the bike... as long as you put it on the bike where it looks like it is moving forward. For example, the stars should always be closest to the handlebars. That's our reg when we wear flight suits, the flag can be on any shoulder, as long as it looks like it's moving "into battle"
And that is why the Army wears the stars forward on the "right" sleeve.. in the position of Honor....

It depends. Is it on the right side of the vest but on the front panel as on your chest? If so the Stars are supposed to be in the upper left. But if it is on the right side like our ACU's then the stars should be the same as our ACU's. This can get real confusing... LOL

I have them on both bikes, always have. You should see the dirty looks I get on the jap bike, but that's their problem not mine.
