I'm thinking of running a flag on one of my antennas (07 Ultra). How are people attaching them so they'll stay on? What sort of flag works well? (I don't mean what country to fly. I mean is there an actual antenna flag or do I use one with grommets or...?)

 

i would'nt reccomend it. they will brake the antenna springs! my buddy broke his on his 06' ultra with an american flag on one and a pow-mia on the other

 

I shortened my antenna (they don't need to be so long), and attached my flag (still on the stick) with four zip ties.

 

I attached mine on the luggage rack.

 

I have NEVER seen anybody run a flag on either their CB or radio antennas. There are plenty of other ways to do it. HD sells a flag mount and flag that goes on either the Tourpack or saddlebag for like 25 bux(I think they have the US flag and POW/MIA Flag), or you can order just the mount/pole, and put your own flag on it.

Also, if you look around on the internet, there are chrome flag mounts that bolt directly to your tourpack luggage rack.

I bought a flag at the Flag Store on the west side of Dufferin just south of Steeles. It has a velcro wrap which I wrapped tightly around the bottom end of my antenna and then wrapped a 1/8 inch piece of rubber around the antenna to stop the flag from riding up.

Took a trip at highway speeds - no problem.

 

i think laggage rack flags are better

 

I bought a couple of flags from the dollar store,(yeah, I know, cheap ****), they were made for clipping on car window, and I found they clip right on the back lip of my trunk. I have no problem closing the trunk lid. I've used them for over a year now, still work great.

 

Don't buy the harley ones they are not for highway riding. I'm about to buy me one of these. Going to attach it to the LP Bar

i'd be a littel worried about attaching a flag to the antennas. The springs and plastic base look kinda weak and i wouldn't trust them from breaking with a flag on. I got the tour-pac rack mounted flags from Eastern Perf. Wrapped a small bit of electrical tape around the rack then bolt the flag poles to the rack. Have make a lot of trips with them on with no issues.
