79Bike Falcon GT Flag Mount Guide: Rear Axle Whip Flag Setup

The 79Bike Falcon GT is a high-performance electric dirt bike, and riders who take one to open off-road areas or sand dunes may need a whip flag. If you're looking for a Falcon GT flag mount, a rear axle bracket is one compact approach worth considering.

Instead of drilling the rear plastics or trying to fasten an accessory to an unsuitable part of the bodywork, an axle-block whip mount can place the attachment point close to the swingarm. Proper fitment is essential, because the bracket shares the mounting area with the rear wheel's axle hardware.

What size is the Falcon GT rear axle?

A 79Bike Falcon GT rear axle replacement sold by Proper Emoto is listed as 15 mm in diameter, and its replacement guide describes the same size for most Falcon GT models. That makes 15 mm a useful starting point for selecting a mounting bracket. As with any bike, verify the hardware on your individual model, particularly if wheels, swingarm parts or axle hardware have been changed. View the Falcon GT axle information.

Where should a Falcon GT safety flag attach?

Rear axle / swingarm-end location

This is a compact mounting solution when the axle end has the correct geometry. It can keep the flag base away from the rear fender and use a dedicated metal bracket. The nut and axle must still secure the rear wheel correctly, with appropriate contact and thread engagement.

Rear fender location

A fender may look convenient but it is not automatically designed to carry the oscillating load from a tall whip. If using a fender-mounted design, determine how the load is reinforced, where wiring runs, and whether the flag can strike the tire or other parts.

Frame clamp location

On bikes with a suitable accessible frame section, a clamp can be another choice. It must not interfere with rider movement, battery or electrical components, suspension travel or wheel clearance.

How to check Falcon GT rear axle mount fitment

1. Confirm the exact model: Do not assume a Falcon M, Falcon Pro or another 79Bike revision uses identical mounting hardware.
2. Compare the outside axle hardware: Verify the correct mounting side, rear axle diameter and fastener interface.
3. Inspect the recessed pocket: If the bracket uses one, ensure the nut seats fully without reducing safe axle engagement.
4. Preserve chain adjustment: The bracket must not prevent normal wheel alignment and tension adjustment.
5. Check the whole flag assembly: A pole can flex while riding. Verify it does not reach the wheel, chain, brake components or bodywork across expected riding conditions.

Elite Engineering's Falcon GT axle whip mount

Our upcoming Elite Engineering Electric Dirt Bike Flag Whip Mount features a recessed rear axle mounting pocket and separate upright flag-whip hole. The body is CNC-machined from 6061 aluminum with a clear-anodized finish, providing a compact alternative to bulky accessory clamps. 79Bike Falcon GT is included in the current compatibility list for the 15 mm rear-axle configuration.

The product page is currently marked Coming Soon. It includes actual photos of the bracket rather than an unverified installation image. Confirm your axle and pole hardware before ordering once it becomes available.

Before heading to the dunes

A flag mount is only one part of a compliant and useful visibility setup. Verify the flag's color, dimensions, required height and allowed mounting location for the area you're visiting. In Utah's designated dunes, for example, red or orange safety flags and specific minimum heights apply. See Utah OHV laws for current rules.
