gibvel Posted December 17, 2008 #2 Posted December 17, 2008 Check out this link: http://www.bludolphintravel.com/gmg/marshallmod.htm Some around here have used even shorter antennas they've picked up at the local truck stop.
Caveman Posted December 17, 2008 Author #3 Posted December 17, 2008 Thanks Mark, looks like exactly what what I was looking for.
RoadKill Posted December 17, 2008 #4 Posted December 17, 2008 I bought Antenna's at a Truck Stop, as well as all the connectors. All in all cost me about $75 I think. Here is a pic
Kidh2 Posted December 17, 2008 #5 Posted December 17, 2008 I installed a power boosted antenna inside the fairing for the radio. Got it at Pepboy's and get great reception.
Sideoftheroad Posted December 17, 2008 #6 Posted December 17, 2008 I did the Marshall mod and love it. I e-mailed him a couple times w/ questions and I got quick responses. Thanks again Bummer for helping get it setup. Hope your fingers have recovered by now. LOL

RoadKill Posted December 17, 2008 #8 Posted December 17, 2008 Yup, you were the one I was referring to. Hoped you'd chime in! I stopped in the same one the other day and now they have some about 12" for $7.95 each. Thinking about trying them to see how the look and work.
