Thanks for the info .. I think the vacuum plug covers from auto parts will be the route I will try.

 

Cut down a GM antenna,same tread,and still fly my Flag on it .

 

I just did this last week and went to NAPA auto parts and purchased two vacuum caps in case of future use of the original mount on my 09 SG as well as the tourpak mount and they look good and are not noticable as well as it was like $2, I am guessing one of the cheaper things you will ever put on a HD. They come in many different shapes and sizes, I went with one a little shorter and smaller diameter and had to really push it on but it will stay on without anything securing it plus its a little shorter.

 

hi really any truck stop should have something

 

I've been wondering the same thing. Actually talked to a buddy of mine this weekend about it. Wondering can you take them off and maybe put a plug in the hole?

 

I used rubber bumpers 1/2"x7/8" to plug the holes in the front of the tour pak....should work in the rear holes too.

 

I stacked a few chrome washers topped with a chrome mustang seat fastener; it's like a bolt with about 1/5" shroud. See pic below.

 

truck stops have the little vinyl caps that they use for cb antennas. they're cheap and if you like black or whatever color, they will likely have them. not a bad idea to use some sort of adhesive like 3m tack and trim adhesive though.

 

3/16 carburetor vacuum caps

 

Can anyone tell me what the thread pitch is on those? The dealer is telling me 6mm X .25 but I can't find where that exists. I'm not near my bike for the next two weeks, so any help would be great.
