Default Hidden Antenna

I am replacing the mast (stock) antenna on my 2010 RG.
Please provide suggestions on hidden antenna options.
Thanks

my way ain't "pretty", but you can't see it so who cares.
I attached it to a bar clamp and mounted it to the left saddlebag support. Zip tied the end to the saddlebag crash bar to keep it from whipping around. The only way you can see it is if you remove the left saddlebag and you can see it running along the support bar. Works great, can't see it, and no problem with reception.

Bought mine off ebay with built in weather band. 21.00 shipped. Works great. Adhesive tape to outer fairing and just bought rubber plug from Harley for old antenna hole.

I purchased one on Ebay and mounted it on the inner fairing above the radio. It seems to work fairly well but I have found it to be a little directional. In the winter I live in Arizona with mountain ranges all around me which could be the problem because the closest stations are 80-90 miles away.

Bought a powered one from Autozone for under $20. Works great and looks like the HD one.

Dang, and I thought I was the one who thought of doing it that way
