Default poor reception with detachable tour pak

got my detachable tour pak the other day and now my radio only gets 1 station guess i will have to take another trip back to the dealer so they can look at it. the radio works great with just the back rest on but with the adapter for the tour pak installed no signal. i have heard that i will lose the weather band if go with one of the hidden antenna's ie. tune trapper. any experience from anyone? 2006 street glide

Sounds like an antenna problem.

Possibly grounded, a short circuit or an open circuit. Need to put the meters on it to be sure.

I'd waste $4.00 at pep boys or auto zone before I let the dealer touch my ride. They have a rubber antenna. See if that works any better. Plus you won't have to connect and disconnect every time you take off you pak.

I put a tune trapper on my bike, it works great, I get all AM, FM and weather band.
Sounds like you lost you ground, the antenna mount is attached to plastic I.E. no ground plane.
