You can replace it with a smaller one from Kragen's or Autozone for $10.00 or I stuck a Jack-in-The-Box ball on mine after poking myself in the eye. The height for an AM-FM doesn't matter like it does for a CB. You can also replace it with one that sits in the faring.

RE: friggen antenna
I know a bunch of guys have cut theres down. I don't remember reading about any trouble.
I went with a tune trapper antenna in the fairing and the reception is about 80% of what it use to be. But then again I live in an area far enough outside of Chicago that the raido station reception sucks regardless...

By all means don't "pook" your eye out!
Cutting it is a bad idea. You'll have to cough up some $HD for the rubber rat tail.

BTW, awesome color on the SG!

Cut mine down with a set of wire cutters, reception same as when it was 13 feet long.............. I tried the rubber antenna, for looks, terrible reception. You pay the shipping and you can have my rubber one for free, and I'm being serious.

I went with the Tune Trapper (internal fairing antenna) on my RG, and found it to have excellent reception in So Cal area. I used the model TT2C2 which went for $30. See: http://www.ecshylites.citymax.com/page/page/761353.htm.
