short antennas
Does anyone know where I can buy short antennas for my Ultra Glide? I found one site on line, but they want $35.00 a piece. A bit stiff, I think..... I think I saw some a while back that were in the $16.00 range. Shoulda bought 'em then. Any help will be appreciated.

RE: short antennas
I have a G.M. truck ant on the radio side. It screws right on, and works great. I don't have the CB, Weatherband one on unless I'm doing a road trip, and then I put both originals on.

RE: short antennas
Have a Street Glide on order and want to have a short antenna as well. Told by my dealer that you can get the 12 -14 in. long black rubber antennas at Radio Shack cheap. If you check them out let us know.

RE: short antennas
i got a short antenna from Pep Boys, universal and installed in seconds. it was 10.00. it does NOT recieve radio signals as good as the stock whip. i am thinking of trying the ones for 30.00 that they also sell there. i believe they are labled as "amplified" although they look exactly the same as the 10.00 ones. MY 2 cents would be to avoid the low cost ones.

RE: short antennas
I am curious if anyone has bought the AM/FM and CB Antenna kit linked to above by 00ultra? If so, how is the FM reception with these antennas? I live in a rural area, good reception is a must.
Thanks,
Jerry

Freedom Cycle Reno has good performing/looking short antenna. Step up, swing for a home run and pay the price for good stuff.

RE: short antennas
The link in 00Ultra is the on-line shopping area for Freedomcycle. I have these antenna's posted pictures here recently (do a search for jlacasci and you can see them). Although I don't use the CB but others have said it works fine. As for the FM, I had previously reported it worked better than the stock whip. Not sure I quite understand this but what I've found is this: I live in a very rural area and my reception there _IS_ better and I can get more stations. (I did a simple test, with the original whip, starting at the first FM station like 88.x hit the up button for a split second and counted the stations stops until I got to 107.9) Put the new one on and did the same thing. With the new shorter FM I got 4 more stations. (I did this several times).
Okay, this weekend I visited a friend that lives in a major city and I swear my reception was not as good as it was with the whip the last time I was down that way??? Could have been a bad day or weather I guess.
