Default Antenna Re-Locate
Folks,

Looking for some help...

I'm in the process of installing the detach tour-pak kit. Well as part of that I have to install the antenna relocation kit. It appears that the kit is designed to "re-locate" the antenna from the fender to a Tour-Pak, so of course most of the instructions tell you all about moving it to a tour-pak, drill here,,, drill there,,, yada yada. What they don't do is show the process/sequence for hooking everything up to the bracket to include the ground wire.

Anybody got some pics, or instructions on how to get this done.

Once I get this part taken care of, I'll be good to go...

Thanks guys...

I don't know what you are asking. I have installed the quick detach on my EGC and there wasn't any drilling.

Clarify your question, maybe I can help.

I went with a hidden antenna and put it underneath the fairing. No need to drill the tourpac, etc. HogTunes makes a good one that is reasonably priced.

Gart,

I'm not drilling anything. Guess I wasn't very clear. The only thing I'm looking for is some help on how to complete the Antenna re-location install.

(Doing as part of a Tour-Pak detach kit)

Mine is an EGC as well, and right now I have everything apart

For $20 at AutoZone or any auto parts store, you can get a hidden antenna and put it inside your fairing.........that way you don't have deal with the antenna out back anymore.

Auto Zone huh.

Do either of you guys have any trouble picking up the Weather Bands with the hidden or the 1' antenna???

What if anything are those with the hidden antennas, doing with the stock mount on the tour-pak?
