Surprisingly, I get just as good reception with it as I did with the stock antenna.

Small, compact and looks bad ***. I get a lot of comments on it.

Which one did you get yours looks really good

I have the one from Harley and it seems to work pretty well. It may lose the stations a little sooner than the stock one though when getting on the outskirts of town.

I use a fairing antenna for my scoot.

But, I got one of these for my Tundra. And they make it for Harleys too.

As for how it works, it's awesome. IF I didn't already have the fairing antenna, I would deff get one of these for the bike.

On Amazon for $25.99.

Can't speak to the motorcycle, but I can tell you I put a "stubby" antennae on my Jeep and essentially cut my am/fm range in half.
