"Radio reception may be affected."LOL! You think ?That's a little too short IMO. I prefer my Honda one.

LOL, don't buy that if you use the radio even a little bit.The Honda S2000 antenna was too short for my taste.

If I wanted a shorty I would get a shark fin. I am guessing this is just for people using satelite or CD's....

Nice antenna mast but it's still too long to fit under my cargo basket. Fortunately, I don't need the mast at all since the reception is excellent for the stations I listen to.But, what I'd like is something to protect the hole, especially when I need to install the basket during winter. I would not want salt to get in...

Short enough to look much better then the 19" factory one, but long enough to still get great reception.

Guess I should have qualified my response a bit better. At the time I was listening to AM radio, and the S2000 antenna was too small to get good reception. FM signal was the same to slightly worse. I did like the look of it though.
