Antenna Location???
Where on the cowl cover does the original antenna go? I have a cowl cover with a hole for the antenna and will need to drill one before it gets painted. A picture would probably help.
Thanks

Re: Antenna Location???
If you are buying an antenna, there is a template that comes with the kit so you can drill the hole on the cowl.

Re: Antenna Location???
IMHO I like the clean no antennea look. I am using a hidden antennea under the dash.

Re: Antenna Location???
Thealien - What kind of reception do you get with the hidden antenna?
I just bought an aftermarket MA/FM antenna from AutoZone ($10), but I need to tell the body shop where to install it on the cowl cover. How much are the hidden antenae? Thanks,

It works pretty good, not quite as good as a standard antennea but it is acceptable to me. Don't get any of the powered ones they don't seem any better. I believe the one I have is called tune trapper and is what a buch of us use on our Harley full dressers. |

Re: Antenna Location???
According to the assembly manual, 6 1/2" back from front edge and a little less than 1 1/4" from side (belt) line, for center of the hole. PM sent.
