Grounding antanae
Hey guys, been searching but can't find the post about moving antanae under the fairing. I have an 09 ultra.
Put a qd rack on for the tour pak.
Rolled antanae up under the seat.
Put a y adapter at radio and aftermarket antanae under the fairing.
Do I need to ground the base of the new antanae mast and/or the old antanae wire unhooked from the tour pak? If so how do I ground the old wire?
I have radio stations again but they are somewhat static heavy.
Thanks

Ok I'll ground the base on the new antanae...
I had read leaving the old wire coiled and hooked to the y would help boost signal. If it's as simple as a ground wire I'd do it. Just not sure how to go about grounding it.

Believe it or not, I had good results with a hidden antenna like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Foxlux-Unive...item2c95a40a62. I got mine almost three years ago, so I can't say if it's the exact one, but for less than 10 bucks it can't hurt to try. I eliminated my antenna wire to the tour pack. Or you can get a class D amplifier for your stereo and you'll lose fm reception anyway lol.
