When I clicked on the link that you provided, I got an alert from my anti-virus saying that the site was actually backupinfo.auctiva.com, which is known to host malware. I hope that wasn't intentional.

Hmm, my anti-virus flagged it and asked if I was sure that I wanted to continue. Didn't see anything resembling ebay.

For some reason your link puts something else in front of the actual link that looks funny.

I wonder how many people actually use the weather band.

Really not sure what you guys are seeing? I changed the link. I'm not crazy about the weather band and wasn't a factor considering the antenna. I'm just looking for decent reception WHEN I use the radio.

Not sure which antenna is in the ebay site, but I use the hidden antenna that looks like a tapeworm. I attached to the surface of the inner fairing and it fit perfectly running from the headlight to the upper corner on the clutch side. Works really well and was about $25 (also on ebay).

That's exactly the one I'm looking at for $22. The link Mike put in his post works too. Just needed some feedback before deciding. Thanks
