this is pretty simple but i wrote it up with lots of pictures just so everyone realizes how easy it is
1: unscrew the antenna
which will leave u with this
2: remove this piece
to leave u with this
3: undo the three screws to unmount the base using a 7mm socket
Optional: for "improved radio reception"
create a wire a couple inches long with #10 ring terminals on either end like this one
attach one end to the base of the antenna (i used 10-32 bolt and nut, with washers)
sneak the base so it sideways down the fender
attach the other end of the cable to original mounts
end optional--------------
sneak the base so it sideways down the fender
i put a dab of locktite on the threads
screw the antenna back on
lay the antenna down the fender and attach with zip ties
reinstall plastic piece
as you can see you still have a hole there if you want you can replace that piece with one off an esky which doesnt have that hole
