I bought one on ebay from Dakota something or other for $20 bux.
It seems to be ok, but I really don't listen to the radio, I listen to my Ipod.
I mainly bought it to get away from the obtrusive stupid looking thing called an antenna which I don't believe belong on motorcycles.

Got the HD amplified one on my 2011 street glide. Works well but the double sided tape for attaching it to the fairing is rubbish as it fell off within 100 miles and placement has to be spot on or you cannot put the fairing back on. The kuryakyn one on the wifes glide is just as good and easier to fit

I got a cheap auto antenna from NAPA, used the base to plug in the original harley antenna and ran it crosswise in the fairing. Works great. Cost something like $8.

I live in the middle of nowhere so the Dakota Digital was worthless,
the one from an auto parts store laying sideways in the fairing was worthless

This one works for $22: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HARLE...mZ380224037893
