RE: FLAGS
I kinda made mine from a scrap piece of wood I saw in the garage that looked like it would work as a flag mount. Routered it out to fit between the bars on my luggage rack, counter sunk some bolts into the wood, then covered them over with some solid "plastic wood". Sanded that down, and painted it to be a brushed alumninum (damn, that's a difficult word).
I was actually going for a chrome look, but I couldn't pull that off with the wood. After about 15,000 miles, it's needs some TLC, which it will be getting tomorrow. I've been selected to ride in the Harley Parade at the National HOG rally (big deal, me and 1,999 other bikers)
There are some nice mounts for small flags, but all that I've seen are quite expensive. This is one of those things that kinda has to be a "custom" job. Depending on the type of flag you want to fly, your bike, and how the bike is set up. We have MANY discussionswithin the Patriot Guard about different flag mounting hardware.

A friend of mine made mine for me. It has 2 holes drilled so you can just mount it with the screws to the license plate holder and then it twists and flattens out where the holes are to mount the actual flag staffs.

I just looked this up in the JC catalog and it only says it holds a 6x9 flag. How does it accomadate a 6x9 AND a 10x15?
