When Removing Your Antenna

Any suggestions as to what to use to cover up where your antenna was on a Street Glide. I went with a hidden antenna and now I need to cover the mount of the factory whip antenna. Thanks.

What antenna did you switch to? Notice any difference?

Went with the one selling on eBay. I think it sells for $23.00 non powered. The strong stations come in fine as do the weather band. For the money it's ok but keep in mind I'm not far from NYC and I listen to my ipod 90% of the time.

I did the same thing as well as I also went with the same ebay antenna and in my case it actually works better than the original whip antenna. I also used a vacuum cap from the auto parts store to cap the original antenna connection to protect it from the weather for possible future use.
