I have the shorty antenna in my SG and noticed zero lost of stations...then again I live in a metro area...

 

Tried it and replaced it with a cut down stock whip antenna, works just as good as the full whip.

 

I, too, bought the shorty J&M antennas on recommendations of several forum members. Yes, they look great, but I am quite disappointed in their performance with both the FM radio and the CB. I have since reinstalled the stock Harley antennas and will simply fold them over when I garage my bike. Anyone want to buy two J&Ms cheap?

 

&nbsp\\;
Rural area here.&nbsp\\; I listen to a FM station approximately 45 miles away.&nbsp\\; With the stock whips I couldn't pick it up inside my stoarge building.&nbsp\\; With the the J&amp\\;M short antenna I can.
&nbsp\\;
Works fine with AM, FM, The Weather Alert, etc.&nbsp\\; Got no idea on the CB aspect since I'm not a CB guy.&nbsp\\;

 

I searched for the wireless as well, but could not find anything....

 

Can't speak to the J&amp\\;M's, but I went with a pair of "coiled" shorty's from Pep Boys last week ($16.99 each), which are somewhat stiffer than the other rubber&nbsp\\;ones.&nbsp\\; Haven't noticed any reception changes around the Dallas area nor on a short road trip this weekend, although I do expect the CB/weatherband reception will be somewhat less but they seem to be working fine.&nbsp\\; They do look a lot better and don't get banged up against my garage door when opening and closing.&nbsp\\;

 

Not to take over the tread! But has anyone tested the antennas that kuryakyn has?

 

How much is cheap??? PM me back.

are the J and M's rubber antennas? I bought my EGC and it has a rubber antenna on it,,,,i hate it! its bent and looks like crap,,,,took it off and got better reception without it?? lol WTF??
I want something more factory looking (non-rubber) but shorter. don't wanna spend the $$'s to cut a HD one though.

 

I have a 07 FLHX, I cut down the stock antenna to around 18-20 inches....seems to work great....both metro and traveling
