Antenna Mount Covers? Unscrew the antennas - now what?
« on: July 14, 2009, 02:01:33 AM »
I went with an AM FM WB antenna under the fairing.  The whip antenna mounts are still in place and I just want to dress them up.  Has anyone seen a cover that will screw down on the antenna mounts just like the whip antennas?

Actually, you are correct, I forgot to mention,  I first slid a small piece of black tubing maybe 3/8" of an inch long over the threads, then put on the acorn nuts.

Sorry for not being real detailed,,,,,I think it was like 4:00 am.

Or...  If you wish to remove the mount completely these little metal emblems cover the pair of holes.

Maybe I could find a chrome sleeve and top it off with an acorn nut?
