ANTENNA

[PW2013STL]

Does anyone know the part number and cost for the BRP short antenna?
I believe these came out with the 2016 models. I just shapped mine off and do not want to replace it with the long one that it came with.

Update,

I found it on Cheapcycleparts.

Antenna - 710005084 for $57.99

Wow that ain't cheap. You can get a shortly a lot cheaper than that at Walmart.

I will be checking that out for sure. Good thing I don't listen to the radio so I have time to find a cheap fix. To bad BRP doesn't sale the little cover for the hole as I would than just plug it.

New antenna with better range and much more solid, Just got this from Spyderpops and it comes with a new style boot that won't fly off and works with half or full cover without breaking, what do you think, looks good don't it?




about $25.00 shipped to you

HI, I got my short antenna(part # 710005084)and 2 antenna bases from Pitbull.


Short antenna..............................$57.99 and 2 antenna bases ( $15.99 each). I have a 2014 RTS-SE6, see pictures:


Look at "My Album". I replaced my original last month. It took me about 5 minutes to change out the original.......long antenna. I did not use lock tite. The radio stations are clear. Deanna

Rubber shorty can be purchased at Walmart for under $20. Comes universal with plenty adapters. Works just fine.

They are not bad ................... these just are a little shorter and get very good reception. And look good.

Hi Joe,
You've mentioned the reception several times now...
Since I get ZERO reception with my OEM setup: can you please explain how much better it pulls in stations, than your OEM antenna did?
(If that is in fact the case... )
Thanks!

I've been fighting with my OEM reception since the day I brought the bike home... It's down to either a bad antenna, or a bad receiver... :shocked:

Or?......

Have you checked your hearing? No offense, but as we get more mature, sometimes.......

I bought a small rubber antenna from walmart at cost of 10.00 CDN. I find that it woks better than long stock antenna.

Just a question, how long is the "long stock antenna"

I know the one I have is a pain when getting the covers on and off the bike

You have a short (compared to older models) antenna, the original is about twice as long

:shocked:... what?
My ears are fireproof, bombproof, and ready for War! nojoke
As I was listening to some "light music" from Yngwie Malmsteen today (look him up...), I heard every note that his guitar played... :bowdown:

Seriously: I DO have a reception problem, and am wondering if it's worth spending $25, to see if a new antenna might solve it.

If and when you get a new (shorty) antenna DON'T use any locktite on it. Had to cut off my wife's antenna to get a socket onto it to get it out. Was locked in there tight!.

(her bike has always had a reception problem) Cleaned out a crap load of blue locktite from the threads. Screwed in a Walmart shorty in without any locktite and took it for a ride, it had to have doubled the reception distance for her.

Now ordering one of the Spyderpops antennas to see if it increases distance even more.
