hidden antenna that really works
my used 08 Roadglide has a hidden amp antenna installed under the fairing. I have rewired it twice and have been unable to get acceptable reception. most espicially when my Garmin GPS in on. I rerouted the power to both trying to eliminate interference, but with out success. I'd go back to the OEM antenna in a New York second, except the previous owner decided to cut the OEM anntenna lead off under the seat!!! did I say "WTF was he thinking?"
A ligitimate, it really works under the fairing antena option would be appreciated.

yeah, I've tried a couple of em that say they provide great reception. Not so. Anyway, the rf cable that runs from the radio to the rear has the unique connector on the end so just soldering and taping the cut part isn't going to be all that simple. You will have to buy a new HD cable and route it. Sorry guy.

Guys ,,,,,,
J&M actually tested the Dakota Digital and the Biketronics Hogtenna, along with two others and we were not impressed either ,,,,,,
that is why we made the new J&M FLEXPOWER hide-a-way in-fairing antenna line-up,,,,,, below is the straight scoop,,,, if they don't do everything I say they will, we will refund your money $$$ , that simple ,,,,,,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
J&M's new hide-a-way AM/FM/WB antenna for 1985-2010 Harley BatWing fairings ,,,,,,,, J&M part# FPA-HCFM ,,,,,,,,
It is by far THE best faring in-fairing mounted hide-a-way AM/FM/WB antenna on the market today ,,,, duplicating under most conditions the performance of the J&M/Harley shorty rear mounted antenna for all 3 Bands,,,,, AM, FM and WB ,,,,,,
It is part of the new FlexPower™ antenna line-up from J&M , which includes a new pre-tuned mount-in-fairing CB antenna for the BatWing Harley fairing ,,,,,,,
The really cool thing about these antennas is that they can be used as a complete replacement for the rear antennas (((StreetGlide-Ultra etc))) OR the customer can connect BOTH and then if he has a removable tail trunk, when he does remove it, the J&M hide-a-way antennas just keep on working for both AM/FM/WB and also CB radio, if so equipped, without having to add the rear antennas back on ,,,,,

I just hate to ensorse something that might not work that well somewhere else but me and 2 others ordered the antenna from baggers only off of ebay and none of us have ever had bad reception. Of course we have great radio stations with lots of power in ohio so there is always a possibility that it might not work somewhere else. Anyway, they run about 45.00 but I love mine and am very satisfied and I just ran mine in the fairing and not even down the frame like it suggests. Here is a link.

All I am saying is that the new J&M FLEXPOWER in-fairing AM/FM/WB antenna is the best one we have tested ,,,,,
In Tucson Arizona, while also picking up some stations from Phoenix, the J&M FLEXPOWER hide-a-way antenna, mounted inside a 2009 StreetGlide fairing and 2009 Ultra Fairing, was virtually duplicating the reception performance of the rear-mounted J&M/Harley Shorty antennas we have been selling for 3 years now ,,,,, Harley has been selling them for a year ,,,,
and this was not just on FM, this was on all three bands of AM, FM and WB ,,,,,,,,
part# FPA-HCFM ,,,,, price is $79.99 ,,,, should be on the Harley Classics page of the J&M website within three days ,,,,,

An easy fix may be to get a Y connection and hooking the two together even though you don't have the end on you cable it's going to give you some added reception. Also Checker has an amplified for $18 that works pretty good. I would think in the flatland you should be picking up stations so I would replace your current one. Note: try just the original cable and you should pick up local stations.
