I'm curious if anyone has, or has ran across, a quick dis-connect for the antenna masts, FM and CB, for the Ultra Tour Pack. I know back in the day the car CB radio antennas had a quick dis-connect and thought that it would be nice to have. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

 

or maybe another option like a folding like wings have

 

Many moons ago before there was Cat 5 network cables there was BNC network cables. Another forum member said that he had used BNC connectors on his radio/CB antennae cables. Might be worth a try.

I have a BNC crimper and some fittings - maybe I should try it on my CB cable (I already moved the radio antennae under the fairing.).

 

Do you want to remove the antennas or the mounts on the tour pac?

 

try this site they have a toll free number for all the radio and CB antennas info you'll need

I'm looking to be able to do a quick removal of the mast only for those times when they are just "in the way".

 

Thanks for the reply ... actually I just want to be able to remove the mast only.

 

I've checked this site out ... going to call on Monday and "pick their brain" ... Thanks.

 

twist counter clockwise 6 times.

put in tour pak if you have the shorties.

otherwise, loop a zip tie loosely onto your tour pak rack.

bend the antenna over and put the tip of the antenna into the loop


that'll keep you from getting tangled up in the garage

Hey Mike .... yep I got an "engineered mini (really small and short) bungee cord" that fits snuggly on the antennas and I hook it to the seat grab strap when I cover it up now. Yes ... on my last bagger I did catch the antenna in the garage door when closing it and "Snap - Crackle - Pop" there went that antenna ... live and learn right. I just thought it'd be neater and easier if I had the disconnect .... thanks for your input. I appreciate the reply.
