I took the stock antenna bracket off the bike....took the coax and routed it down to the left side passenger floorboard.....zip tied the coax to the bottom of the floorboard bracket with the antenna facing aft....then I took the stock antenna and figured out where to cut it so that it sticks out about an inch past the saddlebag....then I zip tied the antenna to the saddlebag support. You can't see the antenna, the FM reception has not been effected that I can tell in and around town.....the AM reception went away. So depending on what you listen to.....its an option and its free
