I think I found some good news regarding our reception issues. Check this link to the Sirius website: https://listenercare.siriusxm.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/7199/~/why-is-audio-muting-and-cutting-out-on-my-sirius-satellite-radio%3F

I had the same issue and relocated the XM antennae to top of dash and greatly improved reception.

This came directly from customer service at HD.
Customer service is so full of ****. I got news flash for them, the fairing is not sealed and water will seep into fairing.

Just relocated my antenna today based on positive results posted by others. Sure cannot hurt!

Doing a 260 mile ride in the morning so I will test it out.

Exactly. Obviously that customer service rep doesn't know their product.

A BIG Thank You to all that suggested relocating the antenna as pictured on post #34.

I rode 225 miles to Asheville and back yesterday and then the wife and I did another 75 miles on 2 lanes near home that we have lost reception on before.

I was amazed that I NEVER lost the signal on the road. We only lost it under the gas station roof while filling up.

Harley needs to relocate these on newer models.

Thanks again.

Update

Right at 500 miles this weekend so far from NC up I-77 to I-81 up Virginia to I-66 to DC. Then we rode yesterday around DC and up to Laurel MD yesterday.

NOT ONE SINGLE SIGNAL LOSE THIS WHOLE TRIP SO FAR!

We are riding back home tomorrow on 29. That will be a good test. But I will be surprised in I have even two drops the whole way.
