It is a mess getting my CUSE3 in and out of the garage due to the full lenght antennas.

Is there a easy fix to this problem?

One of the most popular fixes for that are the J&M shorties. You can get them here... www.jmcorp.com.

Thank you Chief, I will give it a try.

Any reduced signal quality with the shorties?

Get the J&M replacment antennas.  They work great and don't have limp weeiner in the heat!

Thank you wenchal.

But what does "limp weeiner" mean? It is Greek to me, I am only a simple Norwegian.

Like a wet noodle.  Floppy and not rigid.

The J and M antennas are short but rigid.

I cut almost a ft off stock ones and took spring off cb side (I don't use cb)so they are even and still have good reception.RIDE SAFE JDO

I put them on mine and they work great, no discernible signal loss. I usually listen to XM on the road, but I still get all my favorite local stations as before.

The J&M's are great.  They provide roughly the same reception as the stock whips, and IMO, look a lot better too.

I put the J&m short antennas on mine as i had the same problem as you getting in and out of the garage.there is no problem with them.

You can loop the antennas over and snap the top ball into the latch of tour pack lid.
My dealer showed me that trick for when I back into sidewalks.

love the j&m antennas...they work perfectly, both with radio and cb radio

Another trick is to pull the tip of the whip forward and tuck it under the rear of the switch on each speaker pod. Once I found that place to stow them, I never did any of the old tricks again. Then I sold the bike.
