Default Tour Pack antenna/winter storage.
Anybody have any good ideas on how to deal with the tour pack antennas when covering bike for the winter, don't feel comfortable having them bent over inside cover or cutting holes to allow antennas to stick through.

Thanks

Remove them. They threaded on and un-screw easily.

Get a cover with antenna holes already in them.

Thank you for the very simple and courteous answer, they did screw off easily.
My 09 they did not, they would not budge.

If you have both the radio and CB, make sure to label them if you remove them...

Take them off, then go to O'Reillys and get some vacuum caps, I cant remember the exact size, I bought an assortment, but the ones I used fit very snugly, great solution.

+2. Remember which one goes where when you go to install em back. CB antenna will work with FM, not vice versa, so keep track.
