Large Flag Mount

Does anyone know where I can find one of those large flag mounts? I'm looking for one to support the 3'x5' flag. I've seen some that mounts on the sissybar luggage rack but, they were a custom job an no one seems to know where to find one. Any ideas?

Haven't thought of that, great idea! Thanks.
I see you are from Navarre FL. I lived in Destin for 10 years. I did the morning show on Country 105, WYZB. I moved to Navarre the last 6 months I was on the beach. I miss that late night HUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM of the AC-130's! MHO, the best gunships the states have!

Mine is just #40 PVC pipe sleeved into a larger diameter of the same. I notched the bottom of the outer pipe to fit over the rail of my luggage rack and zip tie it to the sissy bar. I don't want it there full time, so this is an easy on/easy off solution.

Want to see numerous ideas? Attend a PGR mission and check out the various levels of engineering prowess that members come up with for their bikes. Some are custom fabricated marvels and others are like mine - simple but effective.

Very astute observation. I "fabbed" mine out of these. Just redrill the "small" end to the diameter of the sissybar, buy conduit to fit the "large" diameter. Zip tie flag to conduit. Comes off in 'bout 15 secs. and fits in tool bag on front forks, cut the zips, flag folds up.Still working on where to carry the pole, tho. Any ideas, guys? Do they make a collapsible "strong" enuff to withstand the windage? THANX, GUMBY

I just ride with the pole installed. Some PGR use telescoping aluminum poles that they can compress and store in their trunks (most ride Wings). These are great for slow processions and thw like but I've seen too many aluminun poles fail in 60+ MPH traffic to trust it. Would hate to be behind one when it snaps.
