boonman Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 You will SURELY crack the rear fender off. it does not beling in plastic. There is alot of force on the flag/whip. The grab bar is the only place to mount it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pimp559 Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Flags are not meant to ride on trails. You will catch them on tree, bush' ect. The flags are meant to use in the dunes so another riders can see you more easily when approaching you from the other direction on a dune. 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brock_fuzzy_69 Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 yeah a lot of places require a flag to ride there and they get beaten to all hell ont he tree tops i got one that is rectractable like an antenae its stainless steel and has a spring loaded base it slides down to be only a little over a foot tall whne it put it down it was like 18 bucks i think the local shop ordered it from tucker rocky or someplace like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
