I need a stereo antenna

I just picked up an aftermarket fairing and found that I only get about 2-3 stereo channels. The stereo most likely doesn't have an antenna. Can anyone give me some ideas on what I should pick up? I would prefer to have a hidden antenna.

Thanks!

J&M (JMJohn here on the forum) has some inner fairing antennas for both stereo and CB. There are some other hidden antennas as well.

I have the J&M fairing antenna for AM/FM/and WX. It works pretty well but not nearly as well as the stock whip.

I understand that their fairing mounted CB antenna doesn't work well at all, which I wouldn't expect it to. I just sacrifice the CB when the Tour Pak is off the bike.

There's a guy on Ebay named Streetglidecota that sells hidden ones.

I bought my hidden antenna from him, good stuff. From experience, it works better if you get an FM booster.

Where do you recommend buying the FM booster? From an AutoZone?

I used this guy and it worked great until I put an amp in. Then it getting some cross feeding somehow. I need to try another one and route it differently this time.

I've tried 3 other brands before this guy and they were all crap.
