SlingShot flags - are they still wanted?

I would be very interested. I currently have a 6X9 U.S. Flag that in on the mount slingmods sells that attaches to the hump and fly's right behind my passenger roll hoop. I like it, but it is in an awkward location for using my MeanSling hoop bags. Long term I am concerned it could be a problem

I would like to see what kind of mount you have in mind and and yes 12x18 would be nice

as you can see this has the potential to cause problems with the MeanSling bags

From my very limited experience, I would say 12x18 would be max for cruising speeds and smaller might be better. I made a set for a Patriot Guard rider to carry 2' x 5' flags in funeral processions and he has reported that there is a lot of force on them at speed. They attach to my luggage racks which are 1/4" steel and he was getting some flex in the racks at just moderate speeds.

I think there is a lot of interest in carrying flags, especially custom ones. I believe your price point is excellent and, assuming you maintain the MeanSling quality standards, will sell.

Quote from Ruptured Duck

Because of limited "good" spots and how the bags mount it will be difficult. The flag design would allow you to easily put on and off when needing to use your bags.

so long as it can be easily gotten out of the way when I need the bags thats all that matters. I look forward to seeing what you have in mind

Also want to add that I think a 12x18 flag would be a great size, but I would like it even more if it didnt fade, my little US flag has faded badly and it has only been on there less than 7 months. Considering the fact that flags are intended to be outdoors I expect better

I have 9 different flags 6 x 9 inches and I have only had a problem with the 6 x 10 inch. The material broke 1 1/2 inch from the loose end all the way across. I have not had that problem with the 6 x 9 flags.

I don't mean to step on anyone's toes here, but if anyone is looking for flag mounts and/or flags for the Slingshot, check out http://www.dsdesign.biz.
