I tried that and lost most of my stations. All that worked were the BIG local powerhouse stations.

Where is the antenna on the 2010 CVO versions located? I really don't mind the whp that much but it obviously will need to be relocated with the CVO rear end. Anyone got a stock CVO with a good pic of the antenna?

I've got this same antenna.
Works great. Picks up better than my stock antenna.
For $19 bucks you can't beat it.

It works better than a stock antenna? That's what I wanted to hear. I live in the sticks (mountains) so radio reception is terrible anyway. Anything that can improve on the stock set-up I'm good with! I only listen to the radio on my way to work in the am for the news on NPR. Other than that its the wind or the occasional CD.

I put my stock antenna is under my fairing. Only needed a new cable from the auto parts store. Works as good as it did on the back!

Ordered. Going to give this one a try? Cheap enough.

I live in the mountains of WV and it picks up great for me.
Like you said, for $19 it's worth a try.

Sounds like we live in a similar environment. Thanks for the recommendation. Happy Holidays!

everyone is talking about XM radio. I have it on my street glide and my reception is terrible! Does anyone know of a kit to hardwire the XM to your stock antenne or other suggestions to have better reception?
