I am trying to find the best set up for the buck for a parade flag kit. Looked at jp cycles and saw the rivco set ups they have, and its like 300 for just the hardware and mount, but wasn't sure about what other people maybe using? also what poles can I use in them? I see the telescoping poles but heard bad things about them, that they cant ride over like 20 mph.
I already have a hitch on my bikes so, this was pretty easy. I have less than $20 in this not including the flag.
I rode a little over 200 miles with this set up on my SGS on 9/11. 75 or more miles was at highway speed, 75 to 80 mph with no issues. It has worked out great.

If you have a backrest (not a tourpak), go to Walmart, cabellas or a marine store and buy the clamp on stainless steel fishing rod holder. Then go to home depot, in the closet section, buy a polished stainless closet rod. Go to hw section, get some eye bolts of sufficient length to penetrate the closet rod and get a couple of steel D rings to attach the flag to the eye bolts. Last but no least, get a PTO bin with the rounded safety thingy to go through the rod holder and closet rod when on the bike.
