Best Flag Poles?????

OK, These are a sticking point for me. You got cheap ones, you got crazy expensive ones . Just want one to mount on my bag racks, leave it on. Need it on Veterans Day/Flag Day/ Independence Day/4th of July, I can just loosen it and stand it up, put the flag on and ride!
I see alot of ya'll have them. Need some insight! I've looked online at the cheesey DIY's.

If I'm gogga put it on, I want it to stay on. Do the flags stand up to highway cruising?
Thanks Guys!

This is the one I use
Flag Pole
I have the longer 13" pole with the 10" X 15" flag. It is on all the time and has been up to over 100 mph with no problems. I do have my wife reinforce the stitching before I install the flag.

It is expensive but a good quality product.

I also have a 25' flag pole on my property with a light that shines on it all night long.

I made two of my own with 1/4 inch endless threaded stock. I put threaded round balls on the top, available at most hardware stores, and hold the flags in place with a washer and a nut under them.

Just remember to replace the flag if it gets frayed - torn - or ripped. I know that's a no sh!t idea but it's amazing how many people ride cars and bikes with ripped, dirty, torn flags. If you're gonna respect the flag then RESPECT THE FLAG!

I live in the mountains and see a lot of flags at peoples front gates that are not lighted at night and very worn

DragonLady, I know this doesn't benefit you, but I use two of those HD fiberglass antennas as my flag poles. This is the best pic. I got of them.
