    antenna dilema

    Anyone out there know what is needed to relocate the antenna after adding a tour pack?, Just installed one but had to remove the antenna to do so, would just like to find an extension then add an antenna on the trunk

    I was able to just bend mine.
    What's needed is a way to adapt the connectors to a different type.

    And this helps by telling us which bag to put it in?
    I and others realize some of us donot use the radio, but some do.
    Please help a guy out here.

    Originally I did the same and relocated the antenna under the rear part of the saddle. It hurt reception and limited to close stations. Finally I just put it back on and bend it a little when I put the trunk on.

    I put a Givi trunk on mine. I can get 1 half and 1, 3/4 helmet in and close the lid.
    The antenna is in the clear too.
    And its color matched, Black!
    ITS ALL GOOD
