    Antenna disappearance

    Know what would be nice? To have a decent "filler" that would allow the removal of the antenna on the fender without the worry of leaving a hole, just a clean looking plate of some sort. I rarely listen to the radio and with the addition of a laptop tourpack (I like so much that I think I'll be leaving it on) the antennae is bent over under it. I'm gonna look for some type of hideable one but I'm a bit torn due to that big fat rubber surround that would need to go

    A good body man could fill it and repaint the area for a decent price. You also could look at purchasing sheet ABS plastic and forming your own plate. ABS can be heated and formed and takes paint very well if prepped correctly.

    Some have un screwed the antenna and capped the stub with a rubber cap, not a total removal but it wouldn't be bent over. Just a thought.

    Not sure if this is doable but how about you remove the antenna and replace it with a black grommet? Would not be that noticeable on a black bike

    Antenna length is proportional to transmitted wave length. Changing antenna length affects the distance a good signal can be received, in other words time before the station fades. Just something to conceder.

    I have a Bushtec trailer hitch with a hitch rack, perfect size for a cooler, there's also a 6-way bungee cord on it.
    It's generally not something I keep on the bike, but I picked up a helmet that day.
