Re: Mounting a whip
The only place I dune is Silver Lake in Michigan. They require the flag be mounted in front. Their explanation sort of makes sense (Silver Lake is small...you will spot a front-mounted flag coming over a hill sooner).
If you don't have a bumper, there's nowhere to mount the whip--it's all plastic up front. My solution was to make a stiff bracket that mounts to the existing bumper holes & steel support. This requires no mods so it's reversible. It's just a short piece of 1/4" 2x2 angle iron, shaped to look nice.
And yes that's an ordinary air hose quick release on the whip. Since this mount can't fold up I needed a way to remove the whip easily for trailering.

Re: Mounting a whip
e-bay has a few whip mounts listed all the time.
I really like the unit Axia makes but man aluminum is getting pricey.

The AXIA Alloys clamp system is bar far the cleanest set up I have seen we have them in stock there are a couple of variations you can use.

Re: Mounting a whip
The axia alloys clamp would only work on the front of a rzr if it had an aftermarket bumper installed as they clamp around tubing.- mike
