Hey Im looking to use a shorter antenna on my Z. I have read some posts where people have replaced it with ones from radio shack or walmart or something.......do you all have any part # or something so I may get the correct one?? thank you

 

I switched out mine for a billlet antenna. Sorry no part number. I just got it from my friends shop. I'm pretty sure you can find one where they sell accesories or stuff like that. Go check it out. I got a pic of it, its in the sig.

 

My friend wanted one so we just cut it down to about 8 inches
sharpened the point knocked the ball off the other end and popped it on gave it a quick shot with some black paint and new shorter antenna same reception

 

Usually people just cut them or have them completely removed like me

 

yea, i just took mine off. much cleaner looking, although I wouldnt mine having it shaved for a real clean look

 

just cut it, see if you like it and if you dont, go get a billet one, they're pretty cheap i think

 

Send me yours and I'll send you mine. Mine's about 10-12" long. So is the antenna. If you want to I'll think about it. Is yours black? Sounds like this is in the wrong forum!

Edit: Seriously though, I'm looking for a black antenna. I'd like to keep the shorter one that I have but can't get the paint to stay on it.

 

this is what i have,screws on no probclicky

 

I think that's the one I have, or just exactly like it, except in alluminun color. I'd like to get that black one, but I wouldn't want to pay $28 for it.

 

I just cut mine to the desired length about 10" - reception was not a problem.

 

I cut mine down and the reception has died a little, don't do it if you like radio. I'm looking for something better too.

 

I got one similar to the one that Eckler's sells. I am very happy with it. They one I got is actually nicer looking than the factory one. It has a nice threaded brass fitting, a hex base so you can really snug it down and a "smoother" end on it.

 

i just pulled the ball of with a pair of pliers and cut it down to the roof height and glued the ball ball on

 

jason where did you buy it at, how much did it cost you

 

I got a short rubber antenna from autozone fr $6 and t threaded on and reception is fine
