Default Hidden antenna

Anyone use one of these?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hidden-ANTEN...sories&vxp=mtr

If so how well does it work? Can't bring myself to pay the dealer $100 for an antenna.

Thanks

"Just peel and Stick...The Antenna box has 3-M Tape and will stick to any fiberglass or plastic material."

I used self sticking velcro to mount a GPS to the car's dash. It worked until the sun came out & melted the glue.

I am interested in hearing about this one as other hidden antennas have gotten bad reviews. Subscribed.

I have that one and it works just OK. I dont listen to the radio that much, mostly ipod so it doesn't bother me too much. If I listened to the radio a lot I would get a better one.

Isn't the Boom Audio antenna through Harley using a 3M type tape to hold the leads in place?
Correcting myself on the dealer price it is only $60, lol! Still a bit more than I was thinking of paying for an antenna.

I mostly use my Ipod as well but sometimes get tired of whats on it during a trip. I'll use Pandora some as well. Heard of any others?

I have the boom audio antenna from HD and it uses sticky tape for the ant wire. It was $55 and it works just fine. it taps into power as it is a booster ant.
