How about a link for the XM radio antenna adapter (or the nomenclature so I can search for it) ? Thanks

Update: As I posted a page ago, i relocated mine within the fairing still, and it greatly improved the reception and a weekend long trip last week proved it was a good move, with almost no drops. But I have still seen some drops while riding in downtown. Today I stopped in at my dealership inquiring about the updated version and if they would give me a break on the price if I had to buy one. Service guy checked the info and seen it has been updated with a newer version, so I'm getting a new updated version NGVA-3 antenna replaced under warranty! This way I wont need the adapter or a 20' length of cable coiled under the fairing, and free.

Just a tid bit if you have a bike still under warranty you may check into it. I purchased my bike 9-16.

I've noticed that New Castle HD does not keep them in stock, they order them in. I ordered mine, and it was here in a week. I wonder if their reasoning is that they get the latest version, instead of having the older versions sitting on the shelf.

If anybody is on the fence about upgrading or moving their Sirius antenna I say just do it. I bought the HD updated antenna (76000221A) and moved it to the top of the fairing like others have suggested and it was a Huge improvement. I took about a 4 hour ride this past weekend and had no drops or interference.

I agree its best to put it upon the dash. I just don't want mine visible, so going for the best antenna and keeping it inside the fairing is what I'm doing.

My buddy has a 2016 Street Glide. He had the local dealer here install his Sirius, and they installed the antenna under the fairing. We took it apart this past weekend and moved it on top next the Split Stream Vent. He was getting allot of dropped signals. He hasn't had a real chance to check it out good since we moved it, but I'll let you know what he says.


Mine has been GREAT outside the fairing.

Did you use the old double sided tape or replace it?
