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.

 

Just cut it down, That is the cheapest. I had taken mine down to around 18 inches. Or if you want to spend some money http://www.eglidegoodies.com/id109.html SD2-B18

 

I believe the 2008 models are shorter. Or, you can purchase/order one from your local HD dealer. I believe it's the same company that makes the speaker upgrade components. Or, you can go to NAPA.

Good Luck MATIE!

 

FLHT -

Sure, NOW you suggest I cut it down. hehe, threw it out Sunday, garbage already picked up.

 

J&M, a forum sponsor, offers a nice shorty antenna. You could also use an antenna mounted inside the fairing, such as Tune Trapper, etc. available at auto parts stores.

 

Here's where I got mine and the model I decided on. Works fantastic and looks good too.....

If yours screws in, pepboys or most auto parts chain stores sell shorties. Got mine for about 8 bucks and it works great. If yours uses the set-screw to hold, just cut original down.

 

Put one of these in (I did) your fairing and forget about it..

I put a little rubberized antenna from autozone on my 06 FLHXI and it works just fine itcost about 6 dollars.
