I am looking for some wisdom/experience from the group on attaching a flagpole to my 2015 RT for Patriot Guard events/escorts. Any good guidance on how to do that?
Thanks in advance!

I for one appreciate you service for our fallen Veterans.I am looking for some wisdom/experience from the group on attaching a flagpole to my 2015 RT for Patriot Guard events/escorts. Any good guidance on how to do that?

I did some googling...came across some other threads that may give you some ideas:

The Patriot Guard mission is to stand guard at funerals of America's Fallen Heroes who are killed in action or are casualties of the current wars on terrorism in Afghanistan, Iraq, or any war zone. We also offer this support to law enforcement and firefighters who are killed in the line of duty. We shield them from protesters, showing our deepest respect and honoring the Fallen Heroes, their families, and their communities. We are invited guests of the family.
You do not need to ride a motorcycle or be a Military Veteran to support the Patriot Guard Mission.
Crabbing about how someone supports this boggles my mind.

HD's are expected to look ridiculous...please don't do that to a BMW.
if you plan on doing it more than once, the crash bar route is the way to go.
Ilium and other will work fine. After installing the bars, measure their diameter (1" IIRC) and find the appropriate brackets for mounting on a perpendicular (to the flag pole orientation) bar.
.
And the Ilium bars look easy to remove if he does not want them mounted all the time.
Picture copied from Jeff Dean's site.
Unfortunately the Illium bar is a 1" diameter, and the readily available flag pole attachments are for 1/2".
Are you saying you can only attach to something with a 1/2" dia?
No. I looked at the brackets at J&P. They only accommodate 1/2" tubing like you see on a rear luggage rack.
