Re: Possible Cheap Antenna Solution...........

Jag-lovers,

The automatic all-in-one antennas of the Harada type do NOT work on the
XJ6. Tried it, modified it etc...There just isn't enough space between
the tank and the light assembly to accomodate the motor at the end of
the antenna. The only two solutions are 1. Call Hal Rogers in Bossier
City, LA if you like an affordable factory one ($125 ?) or the JC
Whitney remote antenna ($59.00)(BTW, their parts numbers change from
catalog to catalog but they only list one remote antenna, something like
31" mast, 29" remote lead).
