Default Ultra Antenna removal

I've went with a fairing mount antenna for the radio and have a quick detach kit on the tour-pak. I was able to disconnect all the wiring to the radio and CB antenna....but for the life of me I cant figure out how to remove the antennaes. I see a small set screw in the coil of the antenna but isnt there a wy to remove the entire thing?

There should be a rubber sleeve over the base of the antenna. Slip the rubber boot up and you will find a small set scew at the base of the antenna. Loosen the set scew and screw the antenna off.

Which fairing mount antenna did you use? I see that Crutchfield has one for $30. How does it work? I plan to do it on my street glide, but want to make sure that the reception is still good.

What do you do with all the wires when you remove the Tour Pak?

I've had my SG for six days now, and already have bumped into the whip antenna about 50 times. I went to AutoZone and bought a small (~18") antenna for $8 and replaced the whip. Reception is good so far, but I haven't tried it in any remote areas. This new antenna is fatter with a flexibile plastic coating, and IMO looks great on the Glide. Here's a photo.

Coil it up under the seat, and under the center of the tank where the seat meets the tank. Plenty of room.
