I would not buy this flag pole it's teeth broke in less a year.
a very bad design.

What a hunk of junk 20,000 miles and the crome and pool is eaton in half.

Well I'm worried after reading the previous reviews. I did spray some anti corrosion material inside the housing where the spring is to try to preempt a breakage of the spring. Time will tell if that works. So far, I do like the fact that the mounts are designed to be out away from the rack so I can still put on my kuryakyn rack bag without interference from the flag pole. This was the main attraction of this setup for me (besides the folding feature).

One of my biggest complaints is that I can't angle the flag pole to match the angle of the antenna. The flag pole will be straight up 90 degrees or off at a greater angle than the antenna. Also it isn't a 6x9 flag, its a 4x8 or some odd thing. I'm not sure what I will do when it's time to replace the flag. Probably try to make an extension for the pole to fit a standard 6x9 flag.

I bought 2 of these adn after a month one of them broke while I was riding in 25 MPH wind gusts. The size of flag that it will accept is too small.

I'm ordering something else to replace this.

Bought this just over a year ago. Looked great at the time although it was an odd size and wouldn't take many standard sized flags.
beginning of this year, I folded the flag down (very carefully!!). I was extremely annoyed when the inner spring snapped and the interior showed extreme corrosion.
It just came apart in my hand.
No more Kuryakyn for me thanks!!
