    F6B Antenna Options

    I'm not too wild about the stock rubber ducky antenna on the F6B.

    I've looked, but haven't seen any after market options on changing it to something which may appeal to me...anyone know of any?

    Do a search... a couple have "wrapped" one around the inside of the rare deck...

    You put a stiff antenna on there some moron is going to come along and try to break it off. Or by accident you trip and bend it your self, it never fails so that little rubber antenna is probably the best bet for keeping your radio up and running.

    I removed the antenna, placed it under the rear deck, then had the hole filled. Nice clean look.
    ... And after the painter finished, he clear coated it! It's the best paint on the bike now.

    It's the OEM antenna, just removed the mounting bracket, tucked it under the rear deck and used a grounding strap to one of the luggage carrier bolts.

    I like my antenna right here.
    It's perfect when you need to strap on some luggage for a camping trip.
