OK forget whatever I said. Looked at it tonight and took some photos, but I don't think the photo deal is going to happen for me tonight.  I do have a junction fitting under the seat and it is strapped to the piece that the driver's back rest sticks into.  Second I have an antenna relocation kit and it is held on by the same screws that hold the lay down license plate.  If you took the license plate off you could see the screws.  OK now when I am using the police look alike antenna, the original antenna wire that came with the bike screws into the relocation bracket.  Now we want to use the tour box. OK, detach antenna wire from bottom of bracket and attach it to the antenna junction installed under the seat.  Just roll up the extra cord and attach it to the right side of the junction box.  Note I said right side as there is a reason.  Mount the tour box and my tour box antenna wire comes out the  left front bottom of the tour box.  I measured mine and it estends 16 inches beyond the tour box which is just about perfect to screw into the right end of the antenna junction box.  I have to take off the antenna on the relocation bracket before I put the tour pack on.  As stated earlier, I use the short rubber antenna I bought at Radio Shack for the tour box.  Well there you go.  Sorry I  could not figure out the photo deal tonight.  I'm going to go fix myself a drink.

Gordon,

You had your picture files enclosed inside of ZIP archives.  The ZIP file itself isn't a graphics file so it can't display and the individual picture files would need to be uploaded separately.  

I grabbed the ZIP files and uncompressed the images, resized the pictures from your original 1600x1200 down to 800x600 so they'd display correctly on the site here and will get them posted for you here.

And off we go...

I measured my antenna cable from my tour pak last night.  It was very close to 16 inches beyond the tour pak and it will reach the junction shown in the photo.   You could always move the junction if you needed alittle more room.  Good Luck! [smiley=banana.gif]

By the way.  That little rag on top of the back fender in photo#1 stays there when I put the seat on.  Keeps the seat from scratching the top of the fender.  I'm a neat freak.

Has anyone done this upgrade? Antenna relocation kit. I'm going to have to remove the fairing, I'm sure theres some extra length under there, but am I going to have to lift the tank? I hope its not in the harness, probably just running along side of it. [smiley=nixweiss.gif] [smiley=drink.gif]

CVOwner--Let's make sure we are together.  I did not take the fairing off for this upgrade.  The antenna cable that came with the bike is already in the fairing and hooked to the radio and goes all the way back under the seat to my antenna relocation bracket at the license plate.  You unhook it from the antenna--roll up the excess under you seat and screw it into the junction that you have to go buy at Radio Shack and screw in the antenna wire from your tour box to the other side of the junction.  You then have a line from the tour box non-stop to the radio.  If I am misunderstanding your intention, I apologize in advance.  If I can do it it is easy I can assure you.

Hotlineguy,

I'm sorry I'm not understanding you. There is no excess under my seat. The stock antenna is attached to the bracket that is attached to the license plate. The new bracket attaches to the new detachable bracket for the tour pack. My STOCK antenna cable wont reach to the new bracket location. I dont want to modify it like you have in the pictures. Reason: I dont want to have to take off the seat to change from tour pack to no tour pack. I want the relocation to work as the moco suggests.

Sorry for my ignorance, but why wouldn't you leave the antenna cable connected to the bracket, and just attach the antenna cable from the Tour Pak to the antenna side of the existing bracket with an adapter?
