Wiring the powered radio antenna?
I picked up a powered radio antenna to get rid of the booger grabber that attaches to the back of the bike. I am going to put it inside my fairing and I need to know for those that have done it what wire is the best to splice into? Should I wire it to the accessory switch or is there a power wire from the radiothat I should tap into?

My bike has an unused connector on the Accy circuit that I used for my GPS. There is a ground also unused. From the service manual, these are used in the HDI models for a small bulb in the headlamp but are unused on the domestic models. They use standard spade lugs so I just plugged into them and covered with some heat shrink.
Look at the wire bundle going to your headlamp.

I was able to find an unused hot wire in the headlight bundlethat had a red rubber plug over it. I don't know what it was designed for but it worked out perfect. The hidden antenna is too cool now the wife won't kick it ever time she gets on or off. $20.00 can't beat it.
