1.This is the Harley Part number for the hidden antenna.
2. Has anyone tried this out yet?
3. Any ideas for covering the mast mounts on the Tour Pack?

I used a chrome 'acorn' nut available at a hardware store. I also used a chrome hex nut below the acorn nut because the acorn nut didn't have deep enough threads. You could also trim the exisiting stud a little if you didn't want the additional hex nut.
If you can't find the metric nut size (M6x1) you need, just get 1/4-28's and run a metric tap through them. M6x1 & 1/4-28 are very close. That's what I did.

You might consider keeping it all wired, and just go back to the tail whip on remote rides.

I picked up a powered antenna from a local car stereo shop. Looks the same as the HD one. Put it inside the fairing, plugged it in, grounded it and wired it to a switched power supply. I get as good or better reception than the stock whips even on the WB. Cost was $19.99, HD wanted $59.99 I think! Go figure.
