Default What Antenna?
I have a broken "coiled" spring antenna and will be replacing both antennas. What are you using as a replacement for the OEM's? Make/type/style? Are you happy with your choice? Thanx in advance.

Can't help you CB wise but I have tried for the AM/FM: Hogtunes hidden amplified, Metra hidden amplified, J&M shorty, $4 Advance Auto rubber ducky and currently a H-D Boom audio shorty. To me, the Boom shorty works darn near as good as the stock height for reception...

I'm running the Boom Audio hidden in the faring antenna, it works great! I don't have CB so, I don't know if it'll work with that, but it's better than the stock stick on FM.

Hope to see someone who found a replacement for both the OEM CB & FM antennas.

Runnin' a hidden antenna in my fairing.
Ain't into radio, as radio ain't about music anymore.
It's about adds.

Listen to 5800 songs on my Ipod, and don't need an antenna for that.

I have both those but I'm not overly impressed with the reception I now have and when on longer trips I go back to the oem whips.
