If you already have switched or are thinking of switching from your stock H-D whip antennas, here is a poll to give you an idea what others have done and which set most believe work best.

Once you've voted, you'll get the results.

Thanks for participating.

I started out stock like most people,found the stock OK but kept scraping on my garage door everytime going in and out.
I then went to Freedom shorties and they worked about the same as stock as far as range etc. After some time i noticed that the antennas took on a bend due to the wind and the chrome collar at the bottom started flaking some.
When J&M came out with shorties I bought a set and have never regretted it. Reception was the best (other bikers not complaining about walking over them or static when using the CB) and quality is very good. They also are pretunned and there is no need to try and adjust the CB antenna like on the Freedom shorties.

Cut down the factory whips on my 02 ultra.  Switched to the J&M's on my 08 SEUC.  The J&M's aren't bad...I think I may have lost a little reception on the radio (don't use the CB).  Thinking about trying some 26" antennas made by Antenna X to see if they improve the radio reception when I am out in the middle of nowhere.

I have a set of these look and function well

Check out the 2008 street glide and road glide the antenna is shorter, not sure if it will work on the C/B. But I just got 1 for Christman for my 2007 FLHTCI looks better but didn't get to ride it, to check it out.

The Street Glide antenna will not work on the CB side, unless you just want it for looks and are not planning on using the CB.

When you're out in the "middle of nowhere" chances are you won't have many FM radio stations to listen to anyway...that's where XM comes in real handy. 

I went with the J&M's, the CB works better (because it's tuned better out of the package) than with the factory whip.  I rarely listen to FM/AM radio, so I can't validate the claim of less FM reception with the J&Ms. I use XM almost exclusively on my bike.   I do use the Weather Band on my radio every once in a while, and haven't noticed any less performance with the J&Ms over the stock whips.   The J&Ms, in my opinion, are probably the best things going for shorty antennas right now.
