I think as punishment for your insubordination you should be sent to the dump and find your antenna, bring it home, cut it down, and then made to walk the plank......

I cut my stock one, then I replaced it with a billett shortie antenna both ways looked good, but just like you I almost lost a freaking eye about a month ago, I am done with freaking antennas on the bike.

Dakota Digital under $100 mounts under fairing & then you see no antenna.

I bought a black rubber coated type from Autozone. It is about 18" tall, simply screws on and off. $3.99 plus tax.

I tried the cutting it down, the shorty rubber one, the under the faring one, they were all ok b,ut none as good as the stock whip, then I went and got one from the 08 its cheap shorter and works great!

Ok, after 16,543 miles I have finally got tired of getting eye-balled by that freaking antenna. I took it off and threw it in the garbage Sunday after the latest detached retna episode.

OK, so now I am sitting here doing my best pirate imitation looking for a replacement. OK, maybe I should have done this step first, but you know how that goes.

Anybody out there know of a cheap replacement that is NOT eye level? Word has it any antenna from Autozone will work, but want to verify.
I put daul shorty billet antennas on my bike!
