This will be the 3rd time I’ve had too replace the flag holder. Because no matter how tight I’ve had the screw they can fly off. Item#BB52713 |

| Looked good when mounted. That is the only good thing I have to say. Broke within the first hour of a two hour ride....on country backroads, not even at highway speed!! |

| I had two of these when I left Pa, I took a ride from Pa to Las Vegas. One broke off somewhere in Colorado and the other one broke off somewhere in Utah. At first I thought it had something to do with the cold weather in the mountains, until I got to Utah where it was just the opposite. Very disappointed with this product. |

| Bought them, installed them, took alot longer then expected. Only had them on a short while and one snapped at the screw. I would look at other foldable mounts these are not very durable. |

After seeing these antenna mounted flag poles on another Goldwing, I purchased one to replace my old flag pole that was mounted on the trunk rack. I decided to mount the new flag pole on the right (AM/FM) radio antenna, since I was uncertain what effect the antenna would have on the SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) tuning of the (left) CB antenna. The mounting system is not intuitive however. It basically is held in place by friction on the shaft of the radio antenna. While it really can not fall off, it would be possible for the flag pole mount to vibrate loose. However, in the 2 months since it was mounted, the flag pole has remained solidly attached after hundreds of miles of riding. As far as for flag wear, I expect to replace the flag on an annual basis, just like I've done with the previous trunk rack mounted flag pole. I have noticed that, depending on the wind/travel direction, the flag will usually fly straight back but does occasionally wrap around the whip radio antenna. In summary, flag pole/flag looks good while parked or going down the road. Expect normal wear/tear on the flag and carefully read the directions twice before you try to mount the pole. It's not hard, just not obvious how it mounts. |

| Have gone through 2 of these poles and a number of flags which come unsewed and ravel in several hundred miles. Bought a heavier duty flag and pole broke after 200 miles. Pole looks great but didn't hold up and flags are very cheaply made. |

Good design and look on bike. The down side is that they are made with pot metal. As a result they are very weak at the pivot screw in the folded position. I have had two break within two months when bumped in the folded position, under cover. Due to the price I can't justify buying another. If they were CNC machined out of billet aluminum I might consider them again. But until then ????? |

Did buy the NEW STYLE flag pole where the whole pole comes out of the base and the top(cap)is not removable It is held in with a set screw and a bit of "lock tight" very easy install less than 5 mins Will buy another one for the Left side |

I bought 2 of these, and lost both flags and pole tops within a month. I did use locktight but because of the design and poor fitment the vibration loosens the screws. I called Big bike parts and they were going to sell me one for more than I paid---gee thanks. Stay away from this product |

| I have purchase two of these. One to replace the previous purchase because the chrome came off the antenna mount and pole. Well, the second flag pole succumbed to the same fate in a short time after installation. They look great on the bike but the fact that the chrome comes off so quickly has determined that I not repurchase this item. |

| I have had this flagpole for about 2 years and have had great service with it. I think most of the problems people are having with it is very easy to correct simply by using just a little blue locktite on the pole screw and mount. The only problem i had was it is a little tricky to get adjusted correctly when first mounting it. I really like the looks and folddown part. Would definately buy again! |
