All-

What are the options for OEM factory FM antennas?

I don't see Valk interstate antennas available anywhere and the Goldwing antennas look shorter.

Any suggestions?


Thanks in advance,

Troy

Search here for a short FM, black, flexible antenna sold at Advance Auto Parts. I think it is a universal one for 8 bucks. It comes with adaptors for all metric cars and one of them fits the Valk. I think it works better than the OEM, and it doesn't smash the floresent lights in my garage...

I have the flexible black rubber antenna and it works fine.  However I would like to get the original to put back on.

BonS,

Is that the factory long one or a shorter version for the GW?  I don't see a length in the description.


An alternative is to replace both the FM and CB antennas to the GW version to maintain the symmetry.

I can tell you the GW FM ant is long. I don't know if it is both the FM and CB making the noise, but it is hitting every pipe in my underground parking lot.

It's been too long, but I don't remember the IS one touching anything.
