Default Any Ideas?
So I finally installed my Dakota Digital infairing antenna, which works great. I am looking for a way to finish up the back of the tour pack so I don't have that big **** sticking out of the back which the oldantenna was mounted on. Has anyone seen a plug or something like that to fill in the hole?

I did the same thing and filled the holes with black vinyl-plastic plugs that sit flush,from Lowes- barely noticeable.
Happy Easter.

Take a chunk of aluminum and cut it to the desired shape. Mark from the back side, drill and tap for bolt size of choice, install.

If there were enough demand for it I'd consider having a batch made of antenna hole covers with an agreed upon design. Maybe cut a groove in the backside for an O-ring, a seal.

The dakota web site says the digital antenna come with 9 feet of antenna cable. Where did you put all of the cable?

The cable was bundled with a zap strap, so I just left it and tied it the wire harness. Nice and neat and works like a charm.

How is the "fringe reception" with the new antenna?

The Dakota seems to be as good as the stock antenna.

Picked up these metal plugs (at Home Depot) and painted them to match.
Problem solved
