Shortys
Many times i left with no antennas and radio played still. Bought shorties to fix that issue and one vibrated off after a week......back to wips.
My 19 Limited plays fine with no antennas at all, the wips, and the shorties played fine as well.
Moved to bluetoothing spotify......digital sounds so much clearer and powerful than FM.

Last bike I cut it down myself to about 12-14", suffered a little but here in the west your either in town with reception or your not.
The RG I used a cheap flex antennae from wallyworld, again doesn't make a difference in town. On the road it may but am streaming or using XM so no harm.

You can also take the antenna off and run it under your fender and seat. I did this not long after buying my bike and didn't notice much difference. Of course I dont listen to fm much now since upgrading my audio. I use a thumb drive mostly, sometimes my phone music or streaming
