US Flag Only:
If only the US Flag is on your bike, it should either be at the center, or to its "marching right" - on the right side of the motorcycle to the rider's perspective when facing forward.
US Flag And One Other Flag Of Any Type:
If the US Flag is on your bike with another, it should be to its "marching right" - on the right side of the motorcycle to the rider's perspective. If the other flag is that of another nation, it should be the same size and at the same height of the US Flag - NO flag should ever be displayed higher than the US Flag.

OP.....You are correct........American flag will be on the right side.

Honestly...I DO agree with being respectful & try my best to do just that... but don't really feel having the flag on the right or left or middle or the same height is a major faux pas as the overwhelming majority of people (Americans and non) have no clue themselves.
When I see someone getting it "wrong", I don't consider it dis-respect, but rather more of an issue of ignorance. Just flying the American flag is awesome, and anytime I see it, I love it (unless it's upside down or something clearly dis-respectful).

My flag source is SSP Flags, LLC. Their website is http://www.bikerflags.com/.
I've purchased US, POW, Texas, Army, and a few other flags from these folks, run them for a few hundred miles at highway speeds, and have not had one even begin to fray.
They're a bit pricey at about $50 each but you do get what you pay for.
HTH.

My wife actually ordered through our local HD Dealer, and when she did,
she had to order two American Flag Kits with poles and one replacement
POW/MIA FLAG, without the pole. So you have to swap one of the American Flags for the POW/MIA, but that gives you a replacement for your American Flag when that, I'm sure, eventually starts to show some wear.

Flying the American flag upside down is a legal recognized distress signal. So don't ride on by (in your ignorance
) thinking it's automatically someone being disrespectful.
