Review on Upgrade Your Honda Goldwing GL1800 2006-2017 With A 4-Inch CravenSpeed Stubby Antenna Replacement by Steve Waldbillig

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Looks great. Should have done this years ago.

At first I thought the threaded connector was too long. It bottomed out about 1/8" from being flush. I emailed Cravenspeed and they promptly responded with the second photo showing the spacers that came off with the antennas. Sure enough, that was the problem. So, transferred the spacer nuts and "Bob's your uncle".I've never used my radio or CB, so this is a good solution. If I ever start using them or sell the bike, I've got the original antennas that I can put back on in 5 minutes.

Pros
  • No noticeable difference in reception. No big whip on my Goldwing. Win win
Cons
  • Limited Reception: The shorter length of the 4-inch CravenSpeed Stubby Antenna may result in poorer reception, limiting your access to various radio stations
