What do you do with the antenna?

[jbim]

I have a 2018 F3L. I don't use the radio. The antenna is not used. It's actually in the way when I put a cover over the Spyder. It doesn't look like it can be removed without leaving a metal connection open to weather and it doesn't look like it could be twisted down and stowed. Has anyone done anything with the antenna on their F3L?

Thanks

On my other bike I had an unconnected antennae on the tour pack.I found a short(about 3") replacement antennae I think made for hand held radio that went on.Looked ok and may not mess with your cover too much.

Thanks. That is actually a good idea as I may have a small antenna from a handheld VHF I don’t use.

I use no-mar hook strips to mount my GoPro to the dash. 1 each side because the dash is peaked. Blacked with a sharpie. Makes for easy removal and remount.

I just removed mine and used a small plastic plug. IMO radio is worthless anyway.
