Here's a shot of mine before I got it done. I haven't taken any pictures of the finished mount.
It's aluminum plate and u bolts on a tall QR backrest. The pole mounts are HF antenna mast clamps. The pole is PVC with an aluminum tube and oak dowel inside.
I have had this setup up to 70 mph with no problem.
I have the 3x5 flag cut and hemmed into a cavalry guideon shape to reduce drag, and that annoying snap and crack that the flag makes at speed. The shape also reduces the shredding that happens at high speeds.

I wish I could remember where I bought mine - two plastic flag mounts with nice 11x16 cloth flags for about $50 or $60. They mount with zip ties to the sissy bar. The only drawback is my girlfriend says they sometimes blow against her neck/back when we're riding.
