Default poor reception

2009 Ultra classic with stock audio system. I purchased the bike earlier in the summer so its new to me and its my first HD so it all completely new to me. I have noticed (seems to be getting worse) very poor radio reception. When I say reception, there is static in stations that are a distance away which I kinda expect because I have heard the antennas don't pick up very well. Here recently I have noticed static in stations that are just up the road and should come in clear. I am curious if there are connections, grounds, etc on the antenna I could check because the static is almost rhythmic. Basically the station is clear except I get like a quick blip of static every 10 seconds. It does the exact same thing on multiple stations. Any clues as to the issue?
