Easiest way to attatch a flag easily is to buy a foot of rubber gas line tubing from any hardware store and zip tie it to the frame of the bike. When you sant to 'fly" the flag, just put it indown the tubing. I have a fairly good sized stars and stripes and I have seen people slow down or stop and salute, too. Also I really think it keeps the young hairy chested redneck type of guy off.
