I'm getting my bike back after a 3 month long hiatus after a crash. I'm way out of riding shape and just want to go have fun and get back into the habit of twisting a throttle. Lucky for me, I live just an hour away from the beautiful Oregon Coast, and the weather is superb for a weekend in February. I learned to ride at the dunes, so I'm always excited to go back.

Any good flag mounting systems out there? I haven't installed one on my new YZinger yet. I'd prefer to not drill a hole if I absolutely don't have to...

Any suggestions will help, and sorry to bring all my boring personal shit into the board before Indy SX...

You can mount it on the back of your chest protector.

I thought of that for sure. I have a sentinel with no back tho, so that would be kind of hard. Maybe I can make it happen on my 661, EVS neck brace combo...

Is that placed on the seat bolt, or the axle bolt? Looks like a steal to me..

http://hinesracingf.com/ this is the best mount I think. Its set back so its not so much in the way and the one that mounts to axle tends to break whips fast

Yeah I saw that one. My dad had it back in the day. I might have to go that route.

The first one Tiki posted is fine.

How often are you going to use the thing?

I've had that cheap axle-mount one for years, and never had a problem.

Of course, it spends most of its time sitting inside a paddle tire that spends most of its time hanging on my garage wall...

Well I'd like to use it somewhat often. I tried the axle mounted on on my 250F not too long ago, and couldn't even make it out of the parking lot before it got jammed into my rear tire...

I'm gonna post late on this but these are IMO the best. We have tried everything out there, even some homemade ones.

FYI, in some areas, it's illegal to attach the flag to your body and has to be mounted to the vehicle.
