Default Hidden Flag mount..

I wanted to run some flags, but was weary of the plastic things that you latch under the saddle bag lids. So, I machined out some little mounting brackets that attach to the point between the saddle bags and the rear fender. I used a stainless steel (hollow) post for the flag pole. Now I can run flags, or not with a quick easy change and don't have to worry about scratching up my paint. The best thing is that they are relatively hidden out of sight when the flag pole is not installed.

Check the pics....

Very nice, I would like to do something simular for my Street Glide for PGR missions.
Great Job!

Nice design. Let us know if/when they go on the market. I'd consider a pair if the price was right.

Very Nice Gaskett - looks like you should go into production.
Put me on the "Will Order List!"

How much play is in the flag pole? Does it come close to rubbing on anything?

DANG! I bet the rear fender setup on Street Glides will not allow this type of mount.

Going to check tonight in case he decides to make some up for sale.

Great device! Your flag looks like its too tall if I leave my tour pak on, but the flag pole height could be adjusted. I too would like to know if you go into production.
