Yes.

Lower antenna, remove liner (this is a real pain) enough to get to  
the single 10 mm screw that holds it in.

Pull antenna motor and mast down to get it out of the grommet.   
Remove outer piece if it's still on there, push grommet down through  
hole.  It will usually break up, if not, use pliers to rip it apart,  
it's not going to be flexible any more.  Don't gouge the paint.....

Coat the new grommet with a bit of dishwashing detergent to make is  
slipppery and force the locking ridge up around the sheetmetal from  
inside.  Make sure it's seated correctly or the antenna won't go back  
in.

Once the grommet is installed correctly, insert the antenna from  
below and pop it in place.  Install screw, replace liner, and snap  
the outer over over the grommet.

5 min job once you get the bleeding liner out.  I pull the top front  
cover around to free it from the fuel tank cover, etc and then  
wrestle the side out from under the fender, but you may find a better  
way.  Sadly, none of those little access doors in it let out do the  
antenna.
