Sphinxman Posted December 2, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 2, 2014 I'm pulling my trunk and am looking for a hidden antenna anyone had any success with a particular brand or placement on the bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djh3 Posted December 3, 2014 Share #2 Posted December 3, 2014 I mounted one like this on my 900 Kawasaki, inside the fairing. Tab of velcro glued inside and stuck antenna to it. It probably worked as good on that radio as my RSV antenna works for this bike. It sure dont seem to have a lot of distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaking Posted December 5, 2014 Share #3 Posted December 5, 2014 I had tried several types on my RSV a while ago and none of them work as good as a proper antenna. Lack of range mostly. Here's another one I checked out recently, though haven't yet decided if I would go this route or not.. http://www.tunetrapper.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djh3 Posted December 5, 2014 Share #4 Posted December 5, 2014 Going back quite a few years ago (probably the 80's somewhere) there use to be an "FM antenna booster" I certainly did help those old GM "in the windshield" antennas. I have no idea if they still make anything like that though. Now it look like they are made like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did some research on those but the popular verdict out there is leaning towards that its more snake oil than actual boosting of anything..

djh3 Posted December 6, 2014 Share #6 Posted December 6, 2014 I would have to agree. Certainly didnt work as well as the one I had a lot of years ago. But FM radio in general just dont seem to catch a station as well as it di many years ago. Maybe its other electronic interference and things like that going on now days than say in the 80's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
