Creepshow I like your license plate relocation idea.My question is how do you get the main license plate bracket of the rear fender.Do you have to go under the rear fender? Thanks Kerry you have a great looking glide.

I just installed a shortie antenna, I bought it at the auto parts store and it cost $6.98 plus tax. I am sure that someone else has done it but I thought I would share anyways. At least the bike does not look like a remote control scoot...

How is the reception, is it as good as with the whips or not as good? I'm thinking about doing the same thing and adding a booster unit if needed, so I'd like you know if I need the booster. Thanks.

I live and ride in the miami metro area, the reception is perfect, miami is as flat as a pankake not mountains or hills to deal with, it works 100% no difference..

The top ofthe aluminum oil dipstick looked plain,, I took my state quarter
layed iton a thick towel-------hit the back side with a pin punch----that made
the face of the quarterrise up and gave it the curviture of a dome,,fits nicely
over the dipstick with high temp RTV silicone--now I can pick my bike out of the crowd.
..well at least before I told you guys,,,,[sm=oopssign.gif]

I put a powered antenna inside the fairing and the reception seems fine. Out of site, and cleans up the bike a bit. While on a trip last year, some ******* broke off my shorty antenna and left it lying on the ground by the bike, with the American flag still attached!
