Assume its similar to the VN-VP range. Jack your front up,.. remove the 'plastic shield thingy' inside of your wheel arch, (front passenger), and you should find the arial in there. You'll find its attached to the body,.. remove the screws/bolts,.. if its an electric one, disconnect the control lines also. Can't remember if the arial just slides out from the bottom, or whether you need to do anything on the top-ouside,.... think they just slide out, it should be obvious when you get to that bit. Inside,... they usually have the arial connector behind the air vent thingy; which you should be able to remove a side cover bit to get to. On the VNs, they didn't run it right up to the radio.

That's pretty easy. There should be 2 wires going to it,1 goes to a relay which is connected to either the car stereo power control or ignition switch,the other is a fuse protected supply from a non switched positive such as the battery. THe earth just goes to the body.
