Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

You could easily fabricate something with pvc and hose clamps, or put a blinkie or light on your helmet, or a frog on the flag pole...lots of possibilities. Enjoy the trike!

If you have the ability to place a small 12V battery on there you could do something like near the middle of my main blog page (https://quadrecumbent.blogspot.com/). It's a 12V strobe I picked up online. It can run for hours on a small 12V lawnmower or motorcycle battery. There are other options out there as far as batteries go but I had mine and didn't have to purchase one.

The roll bar arc has been a flag holder, stereo speakers holder, radio antennae holder, and roof support since '02. I do not know how to attach a photo.
