Hello All Has anyone used a hidden antenna on your ride? do they work? if so, what brand is best and where buy it? I took advantage of the forum discount and ordered a set of fairing speakers for my EGC. :s Since I have to take the fairing out to install them I would like to install a hidden antenna because my next mod is the tour pak detach kit.:yes any input will be appreciated:51: Thanks, :bigsmiley24:
Tune trappers are supposed to be a good unit and work better than the stock antenna. They also have a money back guarantee to work better than stock antennas. Motorcycle Hidden Antenna (TT2C2)
Hello Glider Thanks for the fast reply Neat, I haven't seen this style of hidden antennas, after reading they info looks like the its the one. Am also getting one for my boat:bigsmiley23:
Have you checked the radio for the antenna trimmer? Changing antennas to another type should be trimmed before you button it up. It's usually a small hole with a screw located below the tuner knob somewhere, some radios have it on the back near the antenna plug. You turn slowly left and right with the radio tuned to a very weak station and you stop when the signal is the strongest.
Hello Smitty901, Thank you for you input, I guess it's normal for AM stations be to crappy with hidden antennas. Am going to the dealer today to see what the antenna relo kit looks like on a bike. Maybe pick up a few other goodies.:reyes Thanks.:bigsmiley24:
Actually no sleep loss due to no AM reception! just is good to have more options. I have XM radio for about 2 years now, I was planning on installing it on the bike eventually. Thank you for the warning,:s I know what you mean, I loss my mind when I had my V-Rod. No damage done today! I want to save some money for a less sofa looking seat.
I have a 96 FLHTCI and put a detachable rack on and purchased a hidden antenna off of EBAY. I can't wait to get the antenna installed and see how well it work. A friend of mine has one and his works great. Not sure which one he purchased. I will be happy if it works in town, mostly, I will be using my MP3 when out on the hwy.
Hello ToWhlRidr I hope it work out for you, I think am going with the one Glider recommended, its almost a full size antenna, so it should be pretty good as compared to a small box. I might order it tonight, I want to install my new speakers and the antenna at the same time since am having the fairing out. I got an email from Pez today, the speakers were shipped out.:skipping
I also order speakers from J&M Corp and received them a couple of days ago. Unfortuately, I don't have a heated garage and the temp is down around the teens and the single digits. Looks like I won't get them installed for awhile.
