Method of mounting a flag holder mount onto a motorcycle
View Patent ↗A flag holder mount comprising a hollow cylindrical main body, a pad mount and a connecting bar connecting the pad mount to the cylindrical main body so as to comprise a single piece. When mounted to the center of gravity portion of the frame of a motorcycle, the flag holder angles away from the motorcycle and angles back toward the rear of the motorcycle. In an alternative embodiment, the flag holder includes a post mount comprising a connector having a closed end and includes an aperture therein adapted to receive a pin or other comparable fastener to connect the connector of the post mount to the passenger foot peg support. In an alternative embodiment, the flag holder may have a pre-angled connector, or post mount, adapted to receive the pre-angled foot peg support extending from the frame of the motorcycle.
1. A method of mounting a flag holder mount onto a motorcycle, the method comprising the steps of:
locating the motorcycle having at least one foot peg mounted on a mounting block on the frame of said motorcycle, said foot peg located at the center of gravity portion of said motorcycle;
removing said at least one foot peg from at least one side of said motorcycle;
exposing a plurality of threaded cavities on said mounting block;
mounting at least one flag holder mount at a mounting point directly to the frame of said motorcycle, said mounting point being the center of gravity portion of said motorcycle and wherein said flag holder mount comprises:
a cylindrical main body having a first end and a second end;
a mounting plate having a plurality of apertures; and
a rigid connecting member having a first end and a second end, said first end of said connecting member connected to said cylindrical main body and said second end of said connecting member connected to said mounting plate; and
wherein said connecting member is of a consistent width between said cylindrical main body and said mounting plate;
securing a flag pole to said flag holder mount; and
fastening a flag onto said flag pole at a distal location relative to said at least one flag holder mount.
2. The method of mounting a flag mount holder onto a motorcycle, as recited in claim 1 , wherein said mounting step further comprises aligning a plurality of fasteners traversing said plurality of apertures of said mounting plate with corresponding selected said plurality of threaded cavities.
