I suspect your question means can you install it like replacing the FRC or Z06 antenna with the screw in shorty. The answer is no. You'll have to replace the internal part to have the base to screw the shorty in to. The FRC already has the screw in type base and you can just remove the long one and replace it with the shorty. The convertible antenna retracts into the hole and below the fender, so there's no threads to use. You can, however, replace the whole antenna ***'y with the FRC type. As previous poster asked, "why would you want to"?

Shorty Antenna
New to the forum, been looking for about 3 months. Thanks to the forum I have gotten the brass headlight gear and replace it in about 20 mins with the help of the pics.
Before I got my vert someone had broken off the top section. I did get a replacement but will have to remove the plastic strip that moves it up and down. (later this winter) fornow I screwed a 10 inch old cell antenna in the broken antenna and keep the base down to the fender not only looks good but picks up both am and fm great. I will still replace broken mast later on.
