Default Flag Right
I'm no expert, don't claim to be, but I am sure that American Flag etiquette states that if more than 1 flag is flown that the American Flag is on Parade Right which means the right most flag in the direction of travel.

According to your article:

US Flag And More Than One Other Non-National Flag
If the US Flag is on your bike with several other non-national flags (POW/MIA, ALR, Eagles, Service Banners, e tc.), it should be at center and higher than any of the other flags.

That would put the U.S. flag in the center for me.

That would be correct, on your bike it should be in the center. With 2 flags it should be on the right. One flag it should be in the center or on the right. If you fly more than 3, who knows. I guess you have a sail boat.

I stand corrected and have gone out to the garage and put Old GLory in her proper place - in the middle.

I have 2 Pro Pad rear guardrail chrome mounts with 6x9" American flags - one flag on each side.

They are really well made and rock solid.

Correctamundo, the flag goes to the riders (marching) right. I'ma do some research on the center and higher thing, because honor guard always places the flag to the marching right of the presiding officer.
