I have an old Harley flag. It's orange & white with Black lettering. I've had it for yrs & yrs. I used to fly it from my flag pole off the side of the yard. When it was up. I was gone on the Bike. If it was down I was home or in the truck. But there are a few little threads off of one corner that are starting to show some wear. I tried & tried to find another one to replace this one. Even thou it's still in good shape. Does any one know where I can find another one close to this one. It's about 3 feet long X 2 feet high. Ones I've seen either have a bike picture on it. What I want is the HD LOGO only on the flag. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank YOU ThumbUp
 
Well I don't know if this will help you or not. But when you find a new flag if you treat it with No Fray it will keep it from fraying.
I have always had my flags on my bikes and normally it did not take long for them to start fraying and I would need to replace them quite often. Back in 2008 when I bought my 08 Ultra and bought new flags for it at that time my wife decided to treat them with no fray to see if it would help stop the fraying. It worked very well.
I had over 25,000 miles on my 08 when I traded it for my Trike. As I put the flags on it new in 08 the flags also had 25,000 miles on them. They were not frayed at all. When I got my Trike new in 2011 I did buy new flags for the new Trike. My wife treated them with no fray and I now have 22,000 miles on them with no fraying.
My flags are always on my bike and never come off. 70 to 75% of my riding is at highway speeds and after 22,000 on the flags on my Trike there is no fraying at all. I'm sure the no fray could be applied to larger flags also. It would just take more no fray to do the job.
Here is a video my wife made of how to treat the flags with the no fray:

I don't know if this would help you possibly repair the flag you have but I'm sure that when you find a replacement for it the no fray would sure make it last a long time. Most stores such as Walmart or any fabric store carries the no fray.
When you treat a flag with the no fray it will have a slight white residue at first but the residue just disappears in a very short time once the flag flutters in the wind.
