The nut and bolt that attaches the flags to the plate are nylon. We are using the nylon for safety reasons. If someone or something were to hit or catch on the flag pole, being unbreakable, it could cause an injury if it were secured with metal nuts and bolts. The nylon nut and bolt will break away if hit solidly and the flag pole will dismount, with less chance of injury. These nylon nuts and bolts can be purchased from most hardware stores and we are including an extra set in the Kits. If you can change your tag, you can attach our Tag-Flags in less than 5 minutes. The plate attaches preferably behind the existing tag holder. In some cases it may attach between the tag and the existing tag holder. DO NOT place the TAG-FLAG PLATE over the top of your tag, covering any DMV or state information. This could result in a citation for you.
CAUTION! When choosing your Plate Attachment look out for Luggage Racks, Saddlebags, Lay Down tag holders and tail lights. We have plates that offset luggage racks (Patriot, Tomahawk and Bandit). Most soft leather bags and fiberglass bags don't pose a problem. Hard leather bags, when open will hit the Attachment Plate. We are now testing and hope to soon offer a offset Plate Attachment to cover those hard leather bags and another that will attach to the stock 3 point tag holder. We want you to be completely satisfied with your Tag-Flag and display it proudly, so inspect you your existing tag holder and other attachments in the area of the tag carefully. If you have any questions feel free to call me.
