Finally got my shorty antenna installed last night. The adapter pieces in the kit wouldn't work so I made my own.

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.

Shorty Antenna on RT-S
I put one on my RT-S a couple weeks ago...from Big Bike Parts. It's a "fat" 7" spiral wrapped antenna and the radio works just as well as it did with the stock antenna. I went with a short one so I could get in and out of the place I keep my trike without hitting the antenna in the doorway.

Yup ! walking away works alot........
Had same trouble on mine.:banghead: After much deliberation about why I was worried about destroying the original antenna on our 2014 RTL SE6 (knowing full well I would never put it back on) I cut it off as low as possible, used the 7mm deep socket I had to go buy (I found most sets don't go down to 7mm deep socket) and with a little pressure the antenna base came out. :clap: Incidently, I used the shorty replacement antenna from Walmart (RSM-900, or something like that) and all the required parts were there. No other mods, just re-assemble using a few (not all) of the supplied parts. Nice and clean look :yes:
I've done a lot of upgrades, and the shorty antenna was my biggest surprise of difficulty! I could not get that twisted off with the thread-lock! It was one of those times where you are so frustrated that you have to walk away. Then, come back to find it twists right off!

I'm glad that I am not the only one that couldn't get the jelly jar open! I was ready to bang my Spyder on the counter to get it to go!
