CUT YOUR STOCK ONE OFF TO THE SIZE YOU DESIRE. THE INSIDE THE FAIRING ELECTRONIC STYLE AT's ARE VERY LIMITED . HAVENT TALKED TO ONE PERSON WHO HAS HAD LUCK WITH THEM .
"That big antenna makes the bike look like some sort of full sized radio controlled toy." That'sEXACTLY what it looks like---Perfect description.
I use a Dakota Digital knock-off--works fine in Metro Atlanta and avoids the entire antenna relocation/Tour Pak mount issue which is great since the TP is off the bike 95% of the time.
I bought a black rubber one about 12" in length from Auto Zone for $4.99. Seems to work as good as the stock. The material is not as flexible but it liiks great.
XM magnetic antenna for My FI by Panasonic stuck onto the rear fender behind the seat, charging/antenna mount installed in the bag and a power source from under the seat and you do not need AM, FM,or NOOA.
