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.

 

Just did the same thing.. So much cleaner looking and I got better reception with the hidden antenna from HD..

 

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.

 

Does the weather band work with these hidden antennas?

 

Mine does not. but I believe some of the other do. If it's important to you I would make sure before just ordering

 

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.

 

Anybody try putting more than one antenna in the fairing for more reception?
