Default Radio ANTENNA?

Bought a biketronics stero system, did not come with an antenna, any suggestion on a good inexpensive one that picks up stations? Listen to mp3 and cd mostly, but like to get a station now and again.

If you are using an audio amp, it will probably be emitting so much trash in the vhf FM band that you won't be able to receive a radio station anyway.

This is what you need. I have an amp and it works greats. Also gets weather band.

I got a Metra amplified windshield antenna
Amazon.com: Metra 44UA205 Amplified Slim Style Windshield or Glass Mount Antenna: Electronics Amazon.com: Metra 44UA205 Amplified Slim Style Windshield or Glass Mount Antenna: Electronics

But most of the hidden antennas in the fairing work about the same, not as good as a real antenna sticking up out back.

Yes, just mentioning in case you were worried about any interference an amp might cause.

Before buying one I would check your biketronics package real good first. I got their setup and mine came with an internal antenna that plugs into the back of the deck (its just a wire not a pole type) and hides inside my batwing, no Eiffel tower needed..
