How about using a 'shark-fin' active antenna (AM/FM/DAB) ?

The 'auto mart' cheapie rubber stubby antenna was terrible on my bike. I ended up with the shorter Harley antenna from the dealer, which is pretty good, but it's not as good as the whip. At least I don't have to clean up broken light bulbs off the floor of my garage every couple of weeks.

I too have no use for terrestrial radio but I hated the look of the plugs and other things I tried to cover up those posts with. Finally found these a few months ago.

A buddy of mines has these on his bike. I would be adding these if I dont stick the whip antennas on the TP. I am waiting on the cable to come in so I can see how well the whip works in the fairing.

Use an MP3 player - I play them through my Garmin. I capped my antenna studs. It's clean and I get the tunes I want.

I'm sure that #2 slot is not hard to accomplish in Nawlins.

HAHA. No you can get a DWI 7 days a week. However, to be num 2 takes a good bit of arrests to compete with other deputies.
