I’m not too impressed with the stock antenna on my RGU. I have thought about getting a hidden antenna but from all of the reviews, they’re not impressive either. As mentioned above, I will just keep using Bluetooth.

I have a batwing power antenna on my 07 flhx, with the factory HD radio it worked pretty good, factory radio went out replaced it with a Kenwood marine, the batwing antenna doesn't work so great with that radio

They did Umm ok to good certainly much better than the 2 fairing antenna's I had occasion to deal with
About 25 -40 miles from town (according to the set station) I am switching over to the XM radio.

On my last Ultra, I installed the batwing antenna and the reception was not nearly as good as with the whip on the tour pak. Reception was markedly poorer when the bike was headed away from the radio station that I was listening to. Took the whip and a relocation kit and installed the whip tucked along the rear fender. I used an antenna splitter so that I could connect both antennas to the radio. Look around on YouTube and you'll find out what I'm talking about. Once done, radio reception was about as good as with the whip on the tour pak alone, didn't change much whether the tour pak was installed or not and didn't depend on which way the bike was headed. It was also one less thing to disconnect when removing the tour pak.
