Default hidden antenna

I got sick of swapping the antenna with or with out the tour pak. I put the antenna inside the fairing (drag specialties) . I was done in 1/2 hour,piece of cake.I get awesome reception. Nice not having to deal with the antenna.

You got better reception with the HD one or from the Drag Specialties one?
You have used them both?

I bought one off ebay 35.00 shipped I think. Seems to work ok, for where I'm at still need to get my bike running from my winter mods to check what kind of rage I will get. I removed My antenna so that I could run my purge lines out the rear. and it cleaned the bike up in the process.

The Metra Universal Amplified Antenna CK-UA200 does. It is the same antenna as HD sells but for $30 less than HD. $20 at Auto Zone.

If you live in the big city they work fine. get out in no-mans land and see how they work. Not very good. as long as you stay within 100 miles of a station they work fine.
