I've heard of them backing out and falling off. Are you sure that didn't happen?
...or there is some guy running around your town now smacking people in various auto parts stores yelling "think with your dipstick Jimmy".

Yeah, my gets loose now and then. So, I have to check it while out riding and tighten it at times. I been devating on wheather I should be better off just going with the internal antenna system that mounts inside the fairing?

I had a little rubber duck antenna on mine and I found it missing. Found out later from the guy that was behind me that it went flying off on the road. Went down to rat shack (radio shack) and got a new metal whip style that was shorter then the factory antenna for about 7 bucks. A little light strength thread locker and it is still in place and tight.

Got rid of mine, went with the hidden inside the fairing one.
ebay streetglide kota, $20 bucks.
Seems to do alright.
Never thought bikes looked good with antennas protruding from them.

Mine backed out loose last week while on the road. Few threads from losing it. Didn't notice reception because I was using an iPod.

I've seen and heard of them falling off also. A buddy of mine was complaining someone stoled his cig lighter, a day or so later he said his bike wouldn't shift, guess what was down in between the primary and shift linkage, yup, a really nice cig lighter.
