Hey guys,
If anyone is flying a full size flag in PGR or WWR rides, what material is your flag pole made of?

Thanks, Bud

 

I use a Chrome six foot closet pole. I put two eyelets in to attach the flags to, a layer of electrical tape to keep it from rattleing too much. I also cross drilled the pole with the holder and have a quick release pin through it for peace of mind. Had it up to 70 MPH with no problems.

Here's a reference for you on flags and mounts.

I'm running two 3 x 5 flags on a Rivco mount on my Ultra. I substituted 4 to 8 foot poles unlike the 6 to 12 footers described in the writeup. I've been using them for 2 years and way too many missions. Best mount's you can put on a bagger I think.

I also use the Rivco mount on my Ultra, but used two 6 foot wooden closet rod for flag poles. They required a little sanding on the belt sander to make them a tight fit. I added 2 more grommets to my 3 x 5 flags (4 total) for more strength at higher speeds. I used 5/16" eye bolts drilled through the poles and attach the flags with 1/4" spring clips for easy removal after each mission. Flags have flown trouble free for over two years, other than normal wear & tear. They have held up to speeds...well...in excess of parade speeds ** (& I'll leave it at that)...(**NOT recommended, the bike does get a bit sensitive at those speeds)

A 4 or 5 ft. nightstick cb antenna works fantastic even at highway speeds. Everyone in my capter uses them now.

 

Thanks for all the info guys. I appreciate all the help. Bud

 

Made my own mount that bolts to the luggage rack, for the pole I used a paint pole I got from Sherwin Williams paint store, painted it black and it is plenty stout. Alot of guys have found old mic poles that work well, hit local pawn shops for that find, good luck.
