Same dealer, but they look a lil different.

thanks

I bought the one that says "FLHT, UltraClassic" the first link. The second one says the "element" is 24" long. Kinda big, but maybe it works better. Update, I just read the other description, it seems they are the same.

Just go to Pep Boys, Checker, Kragen, AutoZone or whatever local big parts store is in your area. The same antennas are only $19-20 there and you can take it back if you aren't happy with it. I use the powered one and it works better than my stock antenna did.

I also bought the ebay antenna from streetglidecota. Couldn't be happier. Great price and works perfectly.

I keep it (Checker one) rolled up under the seat and use a splitter to connect the two. It makes a noticeable difference especially in the mt. and canyons around here.

Just did a search and found this one on e-bay cheaper still.
