Anyone ever lose an antenna this way?

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I lost mine 5 ½ years ago. They came up with a fix after many others it happened to. Extra locking nut or something. Mine was covered under warranty. I went with a shorty, but later switched back. My CB antenna broke cuz someone fiddled around with it. That cost like $55 i believe.

Early on (2010) it was a factory error. They did not use a lock nut and locktite for the install. Got mine replaced under warranty. Used a WalMart shorty in the interim.
A test for tightness once in awhile is a good thing to add to the pre-check list.
RE: locktite--a dab of blue should be sufficient. Do not cover up all the threads--reception will suffer.

Is your bike still covered under the warranty? If so: this is an open and shut case! :2thumbs:

Mine pulled out like yours. I replaced with a Walmart shorty. Works good.

Warranty expired end of Aug. I'm under Best now so will do shorty for now.
