    "DIY MODS" and TRICKS to SAVE $$$$$$

    I put a powered antenna inside the fairing and the reception seems fine. Out of site, and cleans up the bike a bit. While on a trip last year, some asshole broke off my shorty antenna and left it lying on the ground by the bike, with the American flag still attached!

    The top ofthe aluminum oil dipstick looked plain,, I took my state quarter
    layed iton a thick towel-------hit the back side with a pin punch----that made
    the face of the quarterrise up and gave it the curviture of a dome,,fits nicely
    over the dipstick with high temp RTV silicone--now I can pick my bike out of the crowd.

    Save your money instead of buying these short antennas just remove the stock and cut the bottoms of to whatever length that you like............

    I live and ride in the miami metro area, the reception is perfect, miami is as flat as a pankake not mountains or hills to deal with, it works 100% no difference..

    How is the reception, is it as good as with the whips or not as good? I'm thinking about doing the same thing and adding a booster unit if needed, so I'd like you know if I need the booster. Thanks.

    I just installed a shortie antenna, I bought it at the auto parts store and it cost $6.98 plus tax. I am sure that someone else has done it but I thought I would share anyways. At least the bike does not look like a remote control scoot...

    The best way to get at the nuts that attach the license bracket is to remove the tail light. First remove the lens, unplug the four blade connectors on the back, and then two bolts that attach the tail light reflector. Once the light is removed you have a large hole from which to access the area where the nuts holding the license bracket are located.
