Antenna woes....
I've hated the way the antennas looked on my bike since the day I got it. So I took them off today and she looks so much better. But now I have the antenna connection bolt sticking up and I'd like to cover it. Is there and official HD chrome bolt cover? I would like to protect the threads in case I decide to put the buggy whips back on. I'd just put a cap nut on it but its a long thread, maybe 3/4" tall. Any suggestions?

I got some acorn nuts from Lowe's or Home Depot. They are stainless not chrome but look good. The thread size I believe is 6mm, yep metric on your USA bike. I had to make a small spacer to make up for the depth of the antenna post.

Did you make it removable, or just take it off? I can't seem to find anybody at either dealer around me that knows what is needed to make the tour pack removable.

If you mean removable as far as the quick detach mounts yes. With the Ultra you have to take the cables for the cb, speakers, and taillights and coil them up and store them behind the side covers. If your dealer does not know how to do this, well, lets just say, find another dealer. Otherwise, pm me or I am sure we can step you thru the process. The parts are in the catalog for the tourpak quick detach kit.
