Default Covering with Antenna's

I just installed a tou-pak on my 07 RG, and I am getting the 14' small black flex antenna's, I am just curious if it will be a problem when I cover my bike. I do not have a nice heated garage (yet), I will be building a shed to house my bike this summer, so till then I use a full cover. Might get the Half shell for the season. Just looking for a way to cover without the antenna's causing a headache. Thanks for any advice.

I got a generic full cover at my HD dealership....it has a velcro strip you can open up to poke the antennas through, then reseal it around the antenna. Personally I wouldn't just let the cover rest on the tips of the antenna.

Just fold the antenna's toward the front and cover works for me.

Bought a cheaper cover (water repellent , but still breathable)......cut two holes in the cover. Many may not agree with the idea; but works great for me as the bike is mostly in the garage........

I have the same. I just unscrew the annt. and lay them in the tour-pak. Only adds about 20 seconds to cover/un-cover the bike.

I have the Harley cover for mine, and it has a place for the antennas, velcro openings. Not a problem.
