    shorty antenna

    After installing my mp3 luggage rack, I realized that my luggage was too wide because of the antenna. Found this one on ebay. Not a perfect match and the reception does suffer a little, but it's an easy fix for trips.

    Did you get yours from Mangowalk.com? I tried several different rubber items to "fill in the gap". A rubber grommet, spark plug boot w/ the small end cut off and part of a rubber from a ball point pen. The pen thing works the best and its basically waterproof. It looks kinda cool w/ a short antenna too.

    I'd hit it with a shot of matte black paint to blend it in...

    Do you have a link or the name of the antenna so we can do a search on ebay?

    Did this screw right in or did you need an adapter or another bolt?

    Actually came with three different adapters and two rubber grommets to fill the gap and make waterproof.

    Excellent idea! That would make it look almost stock.
