I cut mine down to about 3', so now I don't get it in the face when I walk around the bike. Can't tell any difference in reception. To cut it, remove the lock-pin at the base and unscrew it. You can remove the rod part of the antenna from the base, so just cut it to your specs.

Auto Zone also sells a short rubberized whip antenna for <$8, or did three years ago, and it worked okay. Reception might've been a bit weaker, but not that much. Take your antenna in and match-up the threads with whatever they have that you like.

I like the whips and both of mine will stay on. Your machine looks cool though.

It is a rear directional bar from an 09 EG Standard or an 09-10 Road King Standard,with LED light for the plate,and plate bracket.The tailight is the HD LED,very bright.I also used the Road King strut covers(the orig had slots in them for the tour pac mount)and the Ultra Limited wheels.The chrome doesn't show up that well in the pics,but they pop in person.

Very tasty! I run the inside fairing antenna too, and it works great.
