I have the same RIVCO parade flag mount on my '04 Ultra. I had my daughter make me a couple sleeves to cover the flags for some of the long rides to missions. I used a PVC pipe connector that fits very tight in the RIVCO mount and the ID of it is perfect for standard flag poles. I used the same kind of fastner that holds the parade mount to the bike, to make the flags easily removable for use in flag lines.

Simple, looks good, easy to put on

Chrome fishing pole holder. Had it on my Dyna, and transfered it to my RK. *used on my son's sportie for a mission when I had a boo boo on dyna*

Have used it 3 yrs now - flown at highway speeds for distances without a problem. Wooden closet rod, cut to length, with eye bolts put in using gorilla glue, painted white.

Any questions about it shoot me an email. Can give you more details.

btw.... only time I broke a pole it broke below the fishing rod holder, no damage to holder. Was because I was a dork and went into garage without taking it off first. Opps!

I can't mount a "normal" flag holder to my Wide Glide so I used the 15" sissy bar and used hose clamps and PVC pipe to rig one up behind it. By drilling a hole through the PVC flag pole and using pins I can easily remove the pole as well. The flag is mounted to the pole with eye bolts and snap links which make it easily transferable as well. I decided that in order to blend in with the bike a bit better that I'd paint the whole thing black. It looks pretty good and worked well on the mission I've been on so far.

I didn't have a lot of options wanting to stay solo. Picked up the hitch which bolts right on with the bags. Had a local fabricator weld up the holder then rattle canned it with rustoleum. The pole, hardware and lashing straps are from Lowe's. Gun sock and velcro cover it for transit. I recommend it anyway but the turn signal brake light conversion kit really helps here, the tombstone is almost fully blocked from 6:00.

I made another pole for the 4x6 on the wall, haven't been too adventurous with that yet. That is one big azz pole, almost 8' mounted to keep the flag off the ground. Great setup with a tailwind

This ain't the cheapest way to go but I've had 3x5s on the freeways with this sled better than 65 flappin' and 80 wrapped, for hours, no sweat.

Or one could go here https://www.rumblingpride.com/

The prices are pretty decent, the flags are guaranteed (for a while at least), and there's nothing wrong showing a smaller flag...this is one of those cases of 'it's the thought that counts', not the size of the flag being flown.
