Ultra Antennas

Anybody switched back to the taller whips as opposed to the 09' shorter antennas?

Nope, I love my hidden antenna inside the fairing. Didn't like them long **** whips on the back, always whacked my head off them when going into the tourpak,

Understood, never liked hearing them hit the garage door either. I have to admit, they received better. What did you get for hidden, does it do the CB as well, and how is reception?

I have an 08 and still have the original antennas. Many posts I have read, the majority say the reception is much better.

I am still using the factory installed on my 07 ultra. Better reception.
Hitting the garage door is easy to solve and keep your long whips.
On the saddle bag latch toward the front you can see a small gap, just put the end into that gap and it will hold your antenna down and you can use a cover to.
cost $00.00
When on trips I cover my bike with a half cover and have had many many folks look and say I did know you could do that.
