I am looking for a good short antenna for my 2014 SG. I hate the look of the tall whip but the hidden antenna seem to be a pain to install.

Has anyone found a short, quality antenna in substitute?

 

I use a short billet. works just fine

 

I installed the HD hidden. It was a piece of cake.

 

Whatever you do, if you buy the screw on type....have the dealer install it.

 

I have the shorty from harley, but just bought the hidden. I will sell you the shorty cheap if your interested. Let me know. I didnt notice any difference from the long antenna.

 

I ran the factory whip up under the left side and put in a fender plug, but went back to the HD shorty for now. The reception tucked under the seat was worse than the shorty. The shorty doesn't look all that bad in my opinion.

 

You say huh? I have never tore apart the fairings so I guess that just "scares" me.. I may have to give it a try.

 

I was just ready to caution against that, based on your experience!

 

Sorry, but along the same idea what are people doing to plug the cb antenna threads. I'm sure it will fill with water and rust

 

Shorty antenna is ok for those Who live in the city,but if You live in suburbs You will find reception issues.Took My shorty's off.
