I passed under a low branch and my antenna was broken. I ordered a
new one (just the stock one) from GoWesty and had it here in a couple
of days (great service). I put it in yesterday. 1984 Westy.

Had to take the instrument cluster out to get my hand back there to
route the antenna wire and put the new antenna housing up thru the
hole. During this I found out that the mast screws into the
housing.... There was no need to open anything up, I could have
unscrewed the stub of the old mast and screwed in the new one.

I'll remember next time and if anyone searches the archives for
'changing an antenna' or 'broken antenna' or 'how do you put the
antenna in' they'll see this and save half an hours work. Heck they
might just go down to the FLAPS, buy a mast, change it in the parking
lot & go on their way with tunes once again!
