RE: xm antenna

Had mine on the tank and it sucked, put it on the radio under the fairing and it works much better.

RE: xm antenna

I have no idea if it makes a difference or not, but I was worried about that also. I went ahead and mounted it according to the directions on top of the radio inside the fairing. I have no complaints at all.....reception is great.

RE: xm antenna

I have mine mounted on the top of the radio case just using the magnetic base of the antenna. I have no problems with reception.

Regards,

RE: xm antenna

Bought a 3 pocket winshield pouch and mounted my xm in the center pocket, went to xmfan store and bought the smallest antenna they make, mounted it with velcro on top of the pouch, I have only lost reception one time and that was at Mount Rushmore under Washingtons nose...hahaha
