Some post that they install the Sat Radio Antenna "under" the faring, on top of the radio. Is there no loss of signal with it mount under the faring???

 

Ive got mine on top of the headlight visor.

 

I have the XM Commander. The sat radio is velcro'd on top of the factory radio, and the antenna sticks to the top of that. Has been there over a month now, I ride every day, and have never lost signal yet.

I installed mine under the fairing and it works just fine. No matter if I am in the country or in city, the reception appears to be ok.

 

According to Mike at Biketronics .. the XM antenna is fine under the fairing mounted on top of the radio -- UNLESS you have metallic paint, then you may have a problem. I have Vivid Black on my RG and the reception is top notch from under the fairing.

 

No works great!!

 

I have my antenna under the fairing and have had no problem with reception unless I am in a big city with lots of tall buildings, or riding directly North in the mountains, but I lose signal in my pickup with the factory install under the same circumstances.

Some antennas have Velcro, 2 sided tapeor a magnet to hold them in place. My antennahas the magnet, can I use that under the fairing on top of the radio? I am not sure if the magnet would interfear with the bikes radio (2006 ultra)

Thanks

Mine is under the faring also and works great even in the garage with a second story on it.

 

I have the stock HD XM unit on my 07 Ultra. The antenna is under the fairing mounted on a bracket. No reception problems at all.
