[DML] Manual Retracting Front Fender Antenna

[James Espey <james@xxxx>]

Last week someone on the list was asking about their radio antenna, a
manual retracting antenna for the front fender. Today I was poking around
in some boxes in he back and ran across some of these. Their history is
unknown to me, but it was a factory item. How it figured in to whole
antenna chronology is also unknown:

First: Windshield antenna
Somewhere in between: Fixed mast antenna on fender
Somewhere in between: Manual retracting antenna on fender
Last: Power antenna in rear quarter

If I had a fixed mast antenna, I would consider replacing it with the
manual retracting antenna. I think the guy said his radio reception was the
same if it was up or down (is that good or bad reception?). Cheaper than
putting in the power antenna ($240) and then having the hole welded up and
refinished ($200).

The bad part is that to install this antenna you have to remove the fender.
Call or email me if anyone is interested in knowing more...
