Looking for the "boot" that goes around the antenna.

[Steve W.]

OK, I have spent at least half an hour on cheapcycleparts, browsing the various fiche, I can NOT find the boot.

I have checked the various body panel fiche, I have checked the various electrical (accessories) fiche, I simply can not find the boot. I also did not find a general search area where I could put in the part name, but then, I don't know exactly what it's called, either, so it probably doesn't really matter.

On the other hand, if someone happens to have a spare boot, I would be happy to buy it from you, but I would still like to at least find where the darn thing is in the parts listing.

Can't find it either, but another option is to just buy a new shorty antenna with a new grommet included. Not vouching for anything, but here is what I found on ebay. Hope the link works.

Thanks, guys. I don't know how many times I looked at those pictures, I just did not see it.
Maybe if I had bothered to look down the list of all the parts and had seen "Antenna base", but that's not what I would have called it.

Thank you very much for the offer. PM is sent.

Welcome to the world of BRP's "you get to exercise your ingenuity" parts catalog. Consistency in documentation and parts nomenclature is not one of BRP's more stellar characteristics. They also often use terms that don't make sense. I don't remember what they call a microswitch, but it is not microswitch.

There are 3 parts called handlebar!

Boor arrived today. Installed it, it fits perfectly.

I had no idea there were two versions of the boot. The one I received has about a 3/16" hole for the antenna. The CB antenna is about 1/4", so a little WD-40 in the hole and it slipped right on, providing a nice, tight seal.

The (apparently) stock boot on the AM/FM antenna has about a 3/8" hole, which fits nicely over the bottom of that antenna.

Thanks again.
