diy: how to repair that friggin whip flag!!!

[yzrider]

i'm shure many of u have either broken the pole or ripped of the flag on ur whip flag, i ride in wooded areas alot and its somtimes hilly so i use it, but it always gets torn up so heres my hillbilly fix

1 take some duct tape and tape the whole broke bottom pole( if it is broken), then bring it out to ur garage and paint it orange( sorry no pic here)

2 take the top pole that has the ripped or ripped off flag and get creative, make a flag of anysize that u want, i used a peice of long underwear that was pretty big, go out to the garage and duct tape it on SECURELY!!!!! u could even us a few stapels and some glue, then paint it wanted and ur done

heres mine while they're drying, finished pics will be up later today

duct tape ahh...

duct tape and zip ties the 2 best things in the shop

 

[yzrider]

yep, hehe, i'm gonna dig up some zip ties, it is cheap and works though

 

[yzrider]

my 1st idea was a flag completely made of duct tape, toooo heavy though

ok, heres the pic of the flag on the quad

At silver lake all the shops have a lifetime warrenty on there poles. The flags have to be orange and the right size around here to

 

[yzrider]

hmm, idk, it will work for where i ride, i'm gonna check my manufacturers site because mine broke the first use

 

[yzrider]

well, they don't have a warranty, but the badlands here where i ride u just have to have orange flag, so i'm ok, and my pole is long enough

I personally wont use anything but a steal-whip anymore. there 30-40 bucks stainless spring steel one peice with welded mount. the replacement flag is 3 bucks (keep one in your pack) never broke one riding. they have lighted ones to but wire ends up getting chewed up. several companies make them, usually for buggies and such.
