I built a flag pole mount for the factory Stryker back rest today. I started riding with the Patriot Guard Riders last year and have been looking for a good way to mount a flag pole ever since. I had a mount on the luggage carrier but it wasn't sturdy enough and I was afraid it would start marking the chrome. It may look like overkill but you would be surprised how strong it really needs to be. This is plenty strong and doesn't interfere with using the luggage rack. I can take it on and off in a few minutes.

It's dark here now. I'll be sure to get one tomorrow. The Patriot Guard and American Legion Riders are doing an escort from Bath (NY) to Hornell.

I have joined and have done a few missions but I'm also trying to figure out a flag mount, checkout my gallery and let me know if you have any ideas, I'm kind of lost

 

[XVS13]

That's a tough one. There's nothing left on the back of your bike! I would definitely be looking at something on the left side swing arm.

I just tie wrapped them to my rear blinkers when I did the 9/11 charity ride last year... I will do the same this year

 

[strykenshane]

I don't have any rear blinkers

Hey XVS= Who did your welding!!

 

[XVS13]

I know a certified welder that does all mine

Besides, you weren't around.

How big of a flag? This one is for a 3' X 2'.

Could you also possibly take some close ups. I'm a member of the Legion Riders here in NY and was hoping to figure out a mount for my stryker.

Awesome. Thanks!

Looks great XVS

 

[mkohnen]

That looks good.

Looks good XVS13CAL. Wish I had any sort of clue how to weld.

XVS13CAL if you are doing a ride from Bath to Hornell where were you at for Rockin Roar. I just went up to New York to visit my parents and rode with my dad in it. (Had to borrow his H-D ;D) But, out of the 400+ bikes I only saw 1 stryker.

Just wondering if anyone has come up with something new? or found something that works well with our backrests / luggage racks?

p.s. see skwerlee - I used the search function to seek this thread out! - =P

Thanks for what you do. Also, like the license plate. Nice touch.
