Now that I have a black VG I decided to not run my S2K RC car antennae. I never listen to the radio here in the Norcal Bay Area cause all the stations suck anyway playing house and recycled hip hop. I always roll CD's or im yaking on my phone with a bluetooth headset. Get Sirius!

they did you a favor. The stock antenna is ugly. But if your that bent on it you can have mine just pay shipping. I replaced mine with the perrin short antenna it is much better looking.

Angry Antenna Mount broken

Had been fortunate for several years with my 03 VIII with the shorty antenna, but some !!!! decided to steal it two days ago(no damage, just unscrewed it). I had since replaced it with a new one and threadlocked it. Well this afternoon after work I see the mount is now cracked. I checked at the local stealership says its $120 for the antenna mount, WTF? Anybody familiar with the replacement method? How the mount is affixed to the roof? Recommended retailer for this type of part?

s2000 antennas fit...but that's like $30-40.

the perrin shorty antenna will run you 25-30...depending on where you go. i know a vendor that sells them for 24 picked up.
