That's the part that I just took OFF mine because the reception sucked big ones with the XM antenna mounted there.

I've got the '06 FLHTCUSE with the antenna inside the fairing, on the metal mount.  I have always had great reception. The only time I lose reception is in a tunnel, under and overpass, or in a treeline that blocks the signal.  You might try the in-fairing mount just to see if it works for you, as it is really a clean way to go.  Good Luck!  By the way, since getting XM on my bike, I don't even bring CDs anymore.  You can listen to any kind of music you want, at the touch of a finger...it's great.  I rode to Sturgis last summer and used the same stations all the way.

I have various XM radio setups and will be installing an extra antenna under the fairing on top of the brand new Hawg Wired amp  ;D Since it is an extra I have decided to cannablize it for experiments sake. I had to dismantle one on my truck a while back cause I needed the mount for a newer style plug in antenna and have seen whats behind the black bulge. So, I figure lets try that under the fairing and see if makes it easier to get a signal. Pics will be taken. And thanks to this sites knowledge and pics I look forward confidently to listening to XM on Hawg wired speakers tommorrow afternoon :) - ok maybe I should say Evening ;D
