Default Shorty antenna
Does anyone know if someone makes a very short antenna for a 2015 SGS? I put a tour pack on and need one that won't hit the bottom of it. I believe the HD "shorty" is like 19 in. which is still too long.

I cut my stock antenna to the size I wanted with a dremmel then popped the rubber cap off the old end and attached to the cut end....

you should look into the J&M internal antenna. a little pricier but you won't have to deal with an antenna at all

Hidden antenna, that's the route I took. Works great, and don't forget to purchase the facia plug... Wasn't included with Harley's kit.... Go figure lol

There is a relocation bracket kit if you want to pay 70 bucks, it moves it back far enough where the shorty won't hit the tour-pak.

Just be aware, nothing sounds good as the stock whip, but everything shorter does look better. I still ended up with a shorty from hd. No regrets!

I purchased a 6" off eBay works great, plenty of clearance between the mount and the tour pack.
