Ok,,,,now I have been noticeing that alot of you guys with Speedies, or any other T3,,,,have the Union Jack on the bike,,,,some of them are near the back,,,am I missing something,,,and if I am,,,does anyone know where I can get em???

AFAIK, they're standard. My eBay replacement bodywork has the "tearing" Union Jack decals on it, but the original bodywork had regular Union Jacks. You might be able to find some cheap on eBay, but you can definitely get 'em from BikeBandit here.

Cheers,

FWIW,

Bikebandit Part 5578014-001 is a 1 1/8" X 3/4" regular union jack. That's what they sent me anyway. The waving or "tearing" one is larger - 2 1/4" x 1". Interesting. The stock ones on my bike are the larger waving flags. They evidently used both in the same year, as Kit's originals were the rectangular on his '96. They don't seem to have the waving flags at bikebandit. I'm going to stick this smaller one on the front of my windscreen.

Hi guys, I see you're fans of flying the flag on your bikes. Just a snippet to tell other fans in the USA, the Union Flag should only be called the Union Jack when it is being flown on a British Warship. At any other times it is the Union Flag.

Just a snippet for your amusement,

stay safe,

Please note that it is possible to fly the flag upside down, this is taken to be a distress signal. Here is the flag the correct way up....

I knew the bit about the Union Jack vs. Flag (A jack is flown at the bow-end of a warship. Our U.S. "Navy Jack" is just the blue field of the national flag with the stars and no stripes, flown from the bow of USN ships.)
I didn't know that you could fly the Union flag upside down, though. It's the orientation of the red cross of St. Patrick that matters? Are you showing the fly-end to the right in your illustration?
