However, a flag that size would put some strain on the rack mount screws and the plastic grab-rails, but for short rides I think I could come up with something.
If you don't find what you need I'm pretty sure I can make a device that would mount to the luggage rack to support a flag. However, a flag that size would put some strain on the rack mount screws and the plastic grab-rails, but for short rides I think I could come up with something.
My not be quite what you are looking for. I've done a few rides with the Patriot Guard Riders. I met SOP when escorting the beams acouple of years back.
I found small 5 1/2 by 4 1/4th inch flags at our local drug store. These are mounted on 5.5MM plastic sticks. If you loosen the red Reflectors’ and put the stick in the bracket behind the Reflector and then tighten the reflector it will at least hold it long enough for a Parade. They won't fall out even after you loosen the reflector sometimes. I have also zip tied the window nounted flags to the luggage rack. I ended up with funky angles on the mounts bit I got it to work.These will take the speed better but the flags get torn up by the wind turbulence behind the rider after awhile at speed. At speed means 60 mph +. The best by far are the trailer hitch mounts but with the c14 I don't know about this.

Some may consider an American flag on a Japanese bike an odd display of patriotism. Especially the Harley crowd.
Well, I would love to see how "American" are the clothes and shoes they are wearing, their TV's and computers at home, their glasses, the gas is they put in their bikes, the plates they eat off, etc, etc.
I would love to support more American companies. But if HD is the best we can offer, I am glad to send my money to Japan, because they know what I want to buy. And I am happy to live in a mostly "free" country that allows me the freedom to do so.
Will, is it allowed as PGR to mount a smaller flag? I think it would still make the point and serve the function, without compromising your steed, japanese or otherwise.
