What is the best short antenna? I bought 2 cheap ones... One broke and the other did not make it in the shipping... Any thought on replacements?

Thanks

 

the stock one! then cut it to length. worx very well, and cuts easy. I think mine is about 18" long now.

 

I replaced both of my antennas with Cycle Whips (low garage ceiling) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CYCLE...QQcmdZViewItem
Stereo works fine, I've never tried the CB.IMO Harley could dump the CB and intercom.

 

As long as ya ain't doin' it ta a CB antenna, yer right. NEVER trim a CB antenna lahk that, though, unless ya got the SWR meter ta match it back up!

 

J&M are the best. I have better reception than stock, they're tuned for your CB, and they don't misform like the cheap rubber ones after a few 100 miles. They cost more, but they're worth it.

http://www.easternperformance.com/in...fa336a660d5c76 This is probably the best deal I've seen on them, free shipping and they're a sponsor. If you want shoot me a PM w/your email and I'll send you a pic on my bike. The one in the link isn't the greatest and the file size of my photo won't let me upload it here.

 

get a power antenna and mount it inside the faring, never have to worry

 

I have to agree with Pete...I only have the radio one, but if you look on the J&M website, the new shortie is configured for the CB also. Great bunch of sales people and fast service. Remi

 

Get one of the hidden antennas I traveled 250 miles last weekend only changed channels once

 

I have J&Ms on both the AM/FM and CB. Both work great. You might be able to see them in my signature photo.

Do a search for marine antenna, goes inside the fairing and is as good as stock.
