I purchased one of those hidden antennas off EBAY for $20. Streetglidecota was the seller. I only bought it because I didn't like that big whip antenna.

As far as paying $80 for a antenna that seems steep just to listen to crappy old FM radio. So many other options with IPODS and Iphones these days.

I bought a XM module off EBAY, yes it's pricey and there is a monthly fee. But for me the reception and overall music selection can't be beat.

I agree, $89 is steep and I have the XM module as well, but I like to have a few options. I don't listen to FM much but when I do, the Flexpower seems to work fine.

I put an Auto Zone power amplified antenna under the batwing on my wife's 2011 StreetGlide and it works great. No reception problems local or distance. Had to relocate the antenna to accomodate a detachable tour pak. Took power from the lighter circuit. I have the stock audio & antenna on my 11 Ultra Classic and her reception is equal to mine.
