if so how was the reception?

 

I don't have that model but I got an antenna strip from West Marine. About $40.00. Plugs into the radio and has an adhesive strip that I attached under the lip of the fairing. Works much better than the OEM whip supplied with my Streetglide and you don't get hit with the antenna. I tried a short antenna and the reception was terrible.

 

I haven't tried any of the hidden antennas, but I did replace my whip with the AntennaX 15" model. Reception of both AM and FM are every bit as good as stock.

 

not this brand but do use one from E-Glide Goodies.....works for me...like the clean back look..also no more ant. whip in the face.............

 

For those of you that went with a hidden. What did you do about your mount on the tour pack, Just leave it there?

 

My friend hada hiddenon his Ultra that he bragged about until we took our Ultras ona trip approx75 miles out of town and I had to keep hollering the newscoresof the football gameat him.

 

I used this on my Ultra
Electric Antenna From Dakota Digital (ANT2000)
Don't know how to post a link from here.
Seems to work Okay. It is just for AM/FM, but that is all I needed.
I zipped tied it to the wire harness under the fairing

 

I put this on on my SG and it works fine. This guy did some testing and I made my purchase off his recommendations. You will not have the same reception as a factory whip but mine works fine.

The stubby rubber ones from autozone also work great.
