    I have a 2012 Street Glide.:) Looking to install a hidden antenna. There are two brands that I am looking at: The "Tuner Trapper" by Kuryakyn or the "Flexpower" by J&M Motorcycle Audio. Both seem like good antenna with the "Tune Trapper being cheaper in cost.
    My quetions are: Has anyone installed a hidden antenna and how do you like it? What are the pros & cons of installing a hidden antenna? Has anyone heard any pros or cons on the two I mentioned? And are there other ones out there that I have not researched. I have looked at Harley Davidson's hidden antenna and I am not inpressed.

    Thanks... thats where I get almost all my parts for my bikes. I am watching both antennas that I mentioned before on ebay. Just waiting on some feedback before pulling the trigger.

    Just another option. I went to Advance Auto and purchased one of the antennas that has am amp built in for about $10. It hides neatly inside the fairing, and outperforms the stock whip antenna. Plus I don't about put my eye out every time I walk past it in the shop. I have had it in for 2 years now and am very happy with it.
