Default The best hidden/fairing antenna???

Well I'm putting some extended saddlebags and rear fender cover. (still pissed becasue the painters didn't get the color matched right, then wanted to charge me an addition $150.00 (on top of the $900 I paid) for the correct paint)...sorry for that rant......


I will lose my antenna mount in the back (my choice, I could have made some mods. to the cover), so what' sthe best antenna system to use now????

Thanks

I have this one as well and it works as good as the original whip. Very easy to install.
