Antenna Alternatives?
Hi All, I have a 2015 Ultra Limited, I like the antennas. However, I have 2 flags mounted and the antennas take a beating. One already had to be replaced. The flags are big enough that they are where they're going to stay. My question is this: Are there alternative antennas that get just a good or same reception? Thanks much!!

The hidden one from J&M is the only one I've tried that comes close. The amplified one from H-D is a travesty. The only other option is a short flexible "rubber ducky" antenna. Bought it at wal mart. It is the universal mount kind that comes blister packed with all the garbage to mount it to a car. Just so happens the internal threads in the antenna base are a perfect match for the stud on the tour packso it screws right on and stays on ! Same antenna you find online for much more. Go figure !

I have the Craven Stubbys on my '15 Ultra Limited Low and they work incredible..... but maybe our stations are stronger here and I do not use the cb.

when i bought my bike it had on the 4" stubby antenna on it. It sucked, in Metro detroit I was lucky to pick up one or 2 stations while scanning through. Went to Autozone and bought a 7" flexible antenna, the difference is mind blowing. The radio now works like it should
