Rit, Here's what I did. I mounted the tuner inside near the backstay. Since the chainplate goes through the deck, I attached the hot side of the tuner directly to the chainplate, under a bolt. Since the antenna starts there, it didn't make any difference compared to running another wire and making another hole. I put a shroud protector over the backstay to help protect those who might grab on! No different than running a wire along the backstay. It also eliminated one insulator. I have had this setup for 4 years now, works great. I use the radio (Ham) every day.
