You can buy American/POW flags w/holders at the HD dealer.....they clip to the tour pak. You do know the American flag mounts on the right (throttle) side? Both flags are the same size.

Sent you a pm w/my e-mail address.....will take photo so you can see what the flags look like.

Pro Pad makes mounts and the 6"X9" flags if that will help ya.

Going to the HD dealer in the morning, lboos .

By the way, when they fade (and they will),the dealer also has replacement flags for around $15.00.

But, you have to ask them.

They'll never put them on display because most folks will just buy another set for $35.00 instead and they're not in business to SAVE you money!

Guess I went brain dead reading the o.p. lol, didn't see that he DIDN'T have a rack on his tour pac.

I realize its a bit more money for HD, but you would be happy if you sprung for the luggage rack and then mount the flags to it. We use the heck out of our luggage rack. Happy, happy, happy.

I found out the hard way that the flags that attach to the lip of the tour pack scuff the heck out of the paint.

I had the ones that attach to the tour pac lip and with the plasic stick on that came with them they were fine. I had them on there for about 7 years.

Rumbling Pride: Trident Kit

Rumbling Pride, unscrew antennas and mount then screw antennas back on

Actually don't have to unscrew antennas...flags will slip over the top, but will have to use electrical tape or some kind of tape to keep the flags from "flying" off the end of antennas! Ask me how I know:gah:

That's why the packet includes clear tape squares that will stick on the tour pak!

For the smaller flags I put them on over the antennas. Punch a small hole at the bottom & top, & use a very small wire tie. Put one at the bottom over the spring flex area, & one on the top around the antenna. They never move if they are tight!

I didn't like the lip clip-on type mast. I have the H-D tour-pac light guard. One day a friend gave me a couple H-D flag holders for a sissybar back rest. That bracket fits like a glove on the verticle bars on the light guard and with 4 plastic zip ties makes for a very clean, almost custom look and I don't have to worry about scuffing up the tour-pac or deforming the lid gasket. ThumbUp

If anyone is interested, I can take some pictures and post them.

Had a buddy that fitted a 4"X6" flag over the top of his antenna and it eventually ripped the antenna off. Luckily, he was still under warranty.

Story of my life Izski. Something works for everybody else but not for me.E]

Excellent idea Slou......I will try your suggestion!

Here's a few pics

Here's a few pics

Like the photos, but don't see how you "clipped" to light bar? Zip ties? Drilled holes? Are the flags on permanently?

 

[eighty80]

I think I got some mounts that look like the pics? I bought some flags, but mounted them on a wall instead. I did not use the mounts. If anybody wants the mounts, I will pay forward. I won't be useing them. Barb? anybody?....... Let me know.

 

[GARYD]

Barbara, black nylon zip ties. Can't see them unless you're right on top of them. There are 4 on each bracket. They are semi permanent - all you have to do is snip off the ties. When they are tightened up there is absolutely no movement.

Now I don't have to worrry about deforming the lid cover gaskit or scratch the paint or worry about having any antenna problems - but I do have the cost of the light guard, which I wanted anyway.

I was just surprised that the brackets fit so perfectly. Holes are already in the brackets.

There are 2 types of H-D flag brackets, one to clip on tour-pacs and one for strapping onto a sissybar.

The zip tie mounts are available at Flags on Cars for much less than Harley charges. Appear to be the same.

 

[olguy]

And speaking of flags . Of course I don't keep these mounted. Just for PGR and occasional parades.
