I installed a power antenna in my 1988 Westy. It was relatively easy, but did
require some modification of the body behind the headlight to accommodate the
width of the motor unit.  (I have a photo of this if anyone is interested.)

I got helpful info and the lead on antenna world from Joel Walker aka 'Uncle
Joel'.
Here is the web link that describes what to do.

One trick I would add. In order to make the antenna wire routing as easy as
possible, I got an antenna extension cable from Radio shack, and taped one end to
the end of the old (non-electric) antenna at the radio. Then when I pulled the
antenna wire out with the old antenna, it pulled along the extension cable that I
then attached to the new antenna. Easier than pulling out the old wire and then
routing the new one.
