ROFL!!!!   

Great idea, Charlie - can get the wife on the back to nag me if the video looks too fast!  Actually it's just about feasible, though not quite - we have a 70" screen, but the bike has to stay as a centrepiece in the hall (BIG hall!!) because it wouldn't get through the door into where the TV is!

Sounds like a perfect time to justify putting a 60" plasma display in the hall.  .

You haven't met my Mrs., Charlie, have you?  LOL!

Now I know we can't be married to the same woman.

Got to ride today for first time with the J&M shorties.  Wow, the cb sounds so much better and they tell me my transmission was really good.  Did not realize but my XM trial period must have just expired so I listened to FM and the reception was great - better than with the stock whips I think but hard to know for sure.  Seems like I was able to get my local stations farther out than before.  Anyway, the J&Ms get a big thumbs up from me.

Jerry, got mine installed as well, and I like them!!  Not only look better, but function well too.  I wasn't talking to anyone on the CB today, but did listen in a couple of times and it was strong.

Jerry and Terry,
Great reports on the antennas.  Glad to see that they are working out great for you guys.  That's exactly the same results I've gotten with them.  They are definitely superior to the stock whips.

Everybody seems to say the new J&M shorties are better than the factory whips.
How do they compare to the Freedom shorties in performance both in transmitting and receiving?

VA,
I can't compare the Freedoms to the J&M's because I've never tried them.  But I can tell you, I had rubber duckies, called Cycle Whips, that my dealer sold, and the J&M's blow their doors off.  No comparison at all.  I'm trying to convince my dealer to get rid of those POS Cycle Whips and sell the J&M's.  The J&M's are about 4 times more expensive, but worth every penny. IMHO.

  To reinterate what Red said, I also think the value is definitely there for J&M.  I think it's there for the quality, performance, AND customer service.  They are the best to deal with.  I have purchase several items from them and have never had a bad experience.  I would give them a definite

I agree that J&M is great to deal with, it's just that I already have the Freedom shorties and I was trying to see if they are performancewise worth changing for since $75 or more is a lot for me to spend just for the cosmetics of thinner non-drooping antennas.

VA...this is completely subjective, as I am not a big CB user, but I had the Freedom's too and I seem to be able to hear things on these that I couldn't hear previously, and the FM is definitely stronger, no doubt about that.  Plus, they do look better...

I'll e-bay the freedom's...

This is odd that the MoCo didn't provide a velcro opening in the back of the Oasis cover like they do all the other outdoor covers that are made to fit Ultra's. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

This is true, but the cover we were speaking of (Oasis) is an outdoor water repellent cover, and does not come w/the velcro strip for antenna it has holes.

I have ordered a whole variety of things from J&M and the service is great. Antennas is just one of the items I have. Given that my bike is not here yet I can not comment on how they would work but opinions in this thread encourage me that monies were well spent on these antennas.
