The Dakota Digital hidden antenna (ordered from Dakota Digital for $79.95) http://www.dakotadigital.com/Detail.cfm/-/Category=118/PartNumber=ANT-2000/product.htm

Do you have to drill a hole in your saddlebag for this item, if you put it in the fairing do you have to take it apart? and is that easy or something that needs to go to the dealer?
Sorry about so many questions.

Heavy that's what were all here for bro.....to help each other out.  As I understand it, the fairing comes off with the three windshield screws and then four more......five minutes and it's off.

A service manuel from the dealership, while expensive, is money well spent.

Personally, I'm going to have the dealership do mine, when they install my oil temp. guage and all the other stuff that I'm getting done.

[Heavy]

JCZ thats a good idea, I will have them do it before I pick it up.

Anyone get the Dakota yet?  And use it?  I'm dying with curiosity.

[Doc]

Oh...and I have a shorty antenna (about 12") from Advance Auto Parts, as I mentioned earlier.  I hadn't really experimented with it at that time.  It works great both AM/FM/WB all in all.  I'm very happy with it, until I hear about the internal antenna working great.  Then it's another $90.  Darn it all.....

JCZ,

Is your SEEG in yet?  Hope so...........

Re: the Dakota hidden antenna, are you going to have Sacto H-D install it for you on the SEEG?  I'm really interested to know if it works okay?

Thanks,

Cabo will have his leg fairing vents installed, too! [smiley=7.gif]

[Cabo]

gonna pick it up today! [smiley=worthless.gif]

[JCZ]

Picking mine up tomorrow.  I ordered the polished stainless steel leg fairing vents last night, too.  I'll get them put on at my 1000 mile service on the 18th, along with my exhaust, air cleaner and race tuner and hopefully the oil temp guage.

Well..............I am not impressed with the dakota antenna.  It works but not as good as the real antenna.  The stations will sometimes fade out.  I even opened up my fairing and moved it but it did not seem to help...will keep you posted. I am going to move it again...it says to keep it away from other metal...thats hard to do... :-/

I want this to work and will find a solution

ok...Im a dumbass I changed my xm radio to an fm modulated version...when I turn the xm radio off(and the modulator) the antenna works just fine!  So disregard that last post [smiley=oops.gif] [smiley=stupid.gif] [smiley=toilet.gif]

The hidden antenna works fine.  I was up in the foothills and the mountains today and I feel that it worked just as well, if not better than the stock antenna on my two Ultra Classics.
