Harada MX-22. Ribbon with teeth. Chrome antenna tip.

Tell me exactly what year, and part number I need to purchase a replacement ribbon/mast, from anyone but Ecklers. There's about 50 choices to choose from, and lots of incompetent customer service reps.

or maybe customer service at MAD could help.

While we're on the subject of Harada antenna's could someone tell me if there is indeed a noticeable difference in reception when the stock pre 88 antenna is replaced with the Harada? I've wanted to ask this question to somebody who's made the swap for the longest time.

Believe it or not Advance auto sells a replacement mast with a ribbon that has teeth like you have there. They supposedly go to Hondas or some other import.

I think it's a 88-92 antenna... So I'll try my luck with that kit.

I guess 88 is when they switched to the teeth style. I'm very disappointed in you guys.

I guess the spring will have to go into a pay it forward thread.

I'm not taking mine apart to verify if it is, or not, an 88 antenna!
