Like quite a few here, the antenna off my '05 UC disappeared too. I figured some one took it, but I suppose it is just as likely that it may have fallen off. I just put a rubber cap that goes on an automotive vacuum tee on the stud as the radio works fine on only one antenna.
Does anyone know if there is a difference in the left & right side antenna? I have never used the CB on this bike, so the missing antenna may go to that.

Good time to go w/the hidden antenna upgrade - makes covering the bike easier too...

The left side antenna is the AM/FM.
The right side is for the CB.
There is a difference in the antennas.

Sorry to hear that so many are having some antenna stealing issues.
If any of you decide to keep the outer antenna and not go to the in fairing versions let us know we have a line of full custom antennas. can make them fit your style and/or theme. heres a couple examples





Not trying to spam anyone with an ad but if you are interested let us know.

I've got one of those flexible short car antennas with adapter studs and all you can have. Got it for my son's acura before I found out it wouldn't work on it.

I have the hidden antenna and put a plug on the antenna hole. Since my tour pack already came with an antenna mount, I bought a pair of shorty aluminum antennas from PepBoys (local auto parts franchise) at $6 each and put them on to keep it looking symmetrical.
