My bad Pete7539. You are right. They are 40 a piece and not for the set.

 

Just got mine in. Easy to install and really look nice on the bike. I had trouble with XM radio going into garage would cut out..but with this new little one...stays on sounds great.

Thanks for all the info.

I cut both of my antenna's down to 18" on my Ultra and my cb still works fine. I think it looks much better!

 

Just got back from Hot Springs trip and I gotta say the new antenna's worked fine. With the whip I had some "fall out" lost signal on the XM radio going into heavily wooded areas. Found no issues at all with the J and M antenna. I did not use the CB so I can't make any proclaimations there..but I have to say the radio worked find. Adds a nice touch to the tour pac.

DanB, I may be mistaken but I believe the antenna for the XM radio is buried in the fairing cowling somewhere. It being a different type than your standard CB or AM/FM. If I can verify this I'll make another post.

 

XM Antenna is located in the fairing and has nothing to do with the other two tourpak antennas

 

Interesting....I have no clue then as to why the XM radio performed better than it has in the past. Maybe just the area I went too.

Oh well...They look sharp anyway...

XM signal is a direct line signal for the most part. One tree can cause a break if the signal is already weak. Most radios have a meter for the signal strength. We all have to put up with broken signals on those winding mountain roads with heavy tree covering. Still beats looking for a radio station. I just keep a CD with my favorite MP3s handy and pop it in when XM reception is borderline
