Default Shorty Antenna
Just bought and installed a "shorty antenna" from E-Glide Goodies, and I'm impressed! The reception of both AM and FM is outstanding and I dont' hit the antenna on the overhead garage door everytime I pull in.

I've had several buddies ask me about it and thought I'd post this.

Dan, I can't see if you have a pic in your sig or not here at work. But do you have a ride with a CB? If so did you do anything to that antenna?

On the Eglide site, there are no CB antennas noted....Freedom Cycles carries the set for AM/FM and CB....check them out!

Note to Fire Hawk: follow the advice from these other riders re the CB. Acording to the literature, this shorty antenna is not desinged for use with the CB.

I don't have a CB.

Why all the talk about CBs ? They went with bell bottoms and platform shoes. I always carry the cell phone anyhow.

Johnny,

Try calling a trucker running ahead of you on your cell phone! I've had drivers call back and warn me about standing water, deer, when it's clear to pass, etc. If you have CB capability (Ultras), you will soon understand and appeciate.

Yup! I mainly use it it to communicate with my brother on his Royal Star.

Besides, doesn't everyone still have Bell Bottoms?[8D]
