RoadKill Posted December 17, 2008 Share #4 Posted December 17, 2008 I bought Antenna's at a Truck Stop, as well as all the connectors. All in all cost me about $75 I think. Here is a pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidh2 Posted December 17, 2008 Share #5 Posted December 17, 2008 I installed a power boosted antenna inside the fairing for the radio. Got it at Pepboy's and get great reception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideoftheroad Posted December 17, 2008 Share #6 Posted December 17, 2008 I did the Marshall mod and love it. I e-mailed him a couple times w/ questions and I got quick responses. Thanks again Bummer for helping get it setup. Hope your fingers have recovered by now. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadKill Posted December 17, 2008 Share #8 Posted December 17, 2008 Yup, you were the one I was referring to. Hoped you'd chime in! I stopped in the same one the other day and now they have some about 12" for $7.95 each. Thinking about trying them to see how the look and work.
