Looking for new antenna

[flyboy0504]

I bought my First Generation Venture Royale from my uncle in PA. Transporting the bike back to my home in Iowa on a trailer, the antenna broke off. I have two problems:

1. I can't unscrew what's left of the antenna from the socket. It turns but doesn't come out.

2. I have been unable to find an antenna like it. This antenna was all metal and a spiral section at the base.

 

Can anyone help me with this?

I just went through this, I have an antenna that wont tighten onto the hub, it slaps back and fourth with that collar unable to catch threads to tighten. The antennas are spendy on Ebay, usually > $100 and I have been examining the idea of using a Firestick, I read that they work pretty well for AM/FM as well as CB so we'll see. I just bought a rack that will accept dual antennas. Someone posted a link to a new replacement for the OEM mast, I'll find it quick and copy it here.

 

EDIT, here is a link to the post with some good information, also Karaboo posted a link to an affordable replacement in this thread.

More info I found on Firesticks for am/fm. I plan to use a seperate stick for AM/FM and another for CB. http://www.wearecb.com/firestik-am-fm-antenna.html

 

Good luck.
