Default Cap for CB antenna post
I've removed the FM and CB whips from my tour pack and replaced the FM antenna with a shorty. I would like to cap the CB antenna post as I don't anticipate ever using that function. Has anyone else done this and what did you use to cap the threaded post. Thanks in advance.

Didn't know that, thanks! I lost one of those antenna caps in a friends trailer, I went to Lowe's and bought those hooks that hang on a pegboard, they had the little black caps on them. Took the cap off and with a little tape under it fit pretty good on the antenna. I'll have to get a pack of these caps for the next time...

Anyone know the screw size for the CB antenna hole (I don't have the antenna to check)?

It sounds like I need to put a screw in there with the head cut off and capped with one of these vacuum caps over the end of the screw.

Thanks!

Why would one need to cap this? If you buy the rubber grommet like the opposite side has it cover the hole completely. I guess it could rust if you ride a lot in the rain?
