    Mounted Flags

    I'd like to mount two flags on the bike 6x9. How did you guys do it. To the license plate is too low.

    I was looking at doing that and came up with the idea to remove one of the back rest bolts and replace it with a longer bolt. I was going to run a nut up to the same height on the bolt as the head on the factory one and then epoxy the nut and a piece of 5/16" stainless tubing to the bolt. I am not sure about how much stress the connection point underneath could take so I have put it on hold for now.

    How about a threaded rod twice as long as bolt needed, put nut down to same length as stock bolt, then epoxy stainless over remaining threads?????

    There are flag poles that would fit the flat edge of the mp3. Kuryakyn sells them for one and other manufacturers probably do too.
