Hitch flag mount CSC Trike

[radarron]

CSC hitch is not a receiver hitch. Looking for pole socket that bolts on using ball hole. All I have found so far is one by Rivco that a bar is mounted to the hitch then sockets are bolted to the bar. Looking for single socket directly attached to hitch. Help

You can order just the socket and bolt it directly to your hitch or have a welding shop make you a socket. The only reason you need the bar they sell is if you want to have more than one flag.

It is my understanding that the bolt for the socket is a 1/2 inch bolt, and washers have to be used. Do you know that if you get the entire kit, bar and all, is it attached to the ball mount with a bolt the size of the hole in the mount.

I had a single flag pole made for my hitch at my local independent m/c shop for $30.00.

a. He took a 18" piece of stock pipe a 1/4" larger in diameter that the size of the flag pole I use (metal curtain rod at Lowes).
b. Next he fit a heavy duty wash to the bottom of the pipe for size.
c. Took at 1/2" diameter bolt about 3 inches in length, inserted it in washer and welded them together.
d. Then he took that assembly and welded it to the bottom of the pipe.
e. Spray painted it black and gave it to me with a nut and lock washer.

Been using it for 5 years now. Do have to repaint the pipe every year or so.

Note: For safety purposes I drilled a 1/4"hole through the pipe and a corresponding hole through flag pole. Insert bolt with nylon tap to prevent flag from "jumping out".
