Default Extending SiriusXM antenna

I'd like to move my XM antenna to the tour pack lid. Has anyone come across an extension for the cable? Is there an HD or aftermarket replacement cable that is longer?
TIA.
-Mark

Regular XM antennas have a 20ft wire. About 8$ on ebay.

Out of curiosity, why are you wanting to move it?

They don't have the HD FRAKA connector.

Better reception. And aesthetics. Inside the faring reception sucks and on the windshield it looks shitty.

Get it. In my opinion they look fine next to vent on SG but ugly on RG under windshield.

Sometimes moving it to another location but still inside of fairing helps.

If you find somewhere that sells an extender with HD's FRAKA connector, please post it. I bought an extension kit, wrong connector, and have been looking to move mine to the tour pak too. I had to move it out of the fairing when I installed the WHIM and I don't like the look, though the reception is fine.

Looking to move my XM antenna due to poor reception at least partially caused by my Madstaad windshield.
This is what I found ;
