Thanks

G1 signs, Guy Dougherty, 9092179051.
you will get multiple seasons out of any flags he makes.
they hold up at speeds in excess of 140mph
Most of pad 3 guys use Guy. every Flag is custom made, no click and add to cart

I have whips. Just need new flags.
I keep it simple this time. Although you can't tell by the price.
The whips are sold red buggy whip. No color changing. No flashing. Just bright red.
I had gorrila whips prior, they were not good. Problems from day 1.
I stopped messing with all the colors and patterns, cause it never worked all the time.

I have found some flag companies online.
I will check G1. Thanks

I believe wired4sound has them or can get them.
It also looks like Kartek carries them.
Thank you very much, I have been passively looking for two years. I did not think to try Kartek.

Banged one on a tree and broke the light connection, not it flashes and triggers me.

5150 have been rock solid but since they sold to Trinity the customer service has been not so great but product is awesome

I used safeglo for years and they wouldn’t last a single ride. Since I switched to 5150 I have had no problems

My #2 is buggy whips. Also great product

Swore by Safeglo for many years. Had so many issues trying to get thru 1 season. Pretty good luck with 5150.

F 5150 and their new owners crappy return policy!! I used to recommend them to everyone until they failed for the second time. Now you have to pay to have them sent in and then pay to have them inspected before they let you know if you qualify for warranty. Add in the 5 week lead time after they inspect and that’s a nope! Then to top it off even if you’re local they won’t let you just drop them off.

So anything except 5051 would be good.

Me too. I set all the lighting, whips and chase lights at one spot and leave it.

He no longer makes them. It's too bad as he had great quality!

Got my flags. Pretty damn impressive whip flagz company
But....at 40 mph my whip brackets bent. Manufacturer sent me new ones and said they have never seen this. Lol. OK.
I'm reinforcing them myself, see if they hold up.

I should have went a different route and got marchin 2 ft fat whips.

See what trouble I can get into at the Sancho this year.

2 inch cage.
Nobody makes much for mav r max yet.
I put the new ones on, added some 1/8" washer to the flag hole. Try and spread the force out some.
I'm going with 75% they bend.
Then i will grab some axia 2" tube brackets. Try and find a spot to mount.

First world problems.... 😁
