Do you listen to FM?

if you listen to FM, then why don't you take the antenna off the tourpak and relocate it either inside the fairing (laid across the top) or inside the rear fender support. Then just plug the hole or screw on one of the stubby worthless antennae

Just relocate the existing whip antenna for the best free reception. The reception is not quite as good as the antenna sticking up but better than the fairing mount or stubby ones in my experience. Here are a couple of YouTube videos. The longer one is how I did mine because I wanted it more secure. The shorter video looks like the guy didn't reuse the bracket.
I also just ran the antenna along the left side frame tube and tied it down with zip ties rather than under the tank mount. It is cleaner. Good luck
