no hidden antenna is going to be worth a crap and provide the level of reception you're used to with the whip.

aside from that, folks seem to like the HD hidden antenna...

Instead of the hidden antenna which do not work well take your original antenna and turn it to go under the left side of the fender and seat. Couple of riders I know have done this and it works great.

also I see folks taking the antenna off the rear altogether retrieving their antenna wire from the left side of the bike and laying it horizontally across the inside top of of the fairings.

That's what I want to do but I want to leave the stock cable alone and perhaps buy a cheap cable with adapter on it for inside the fairing.
