Shorty Antenna compared to stock antenna ...

[AY4B]

Has anyone used a Tune Trapper Antenna? When I got my Corbin Bags, They had me relocate my antenna under the rear fender. I tried a wallmart shorty and can not get more than one station where I live. I put back the stock one and shortly after, broke it off trying to fit it under my cover. I just found the tune trapper and am going to give it a try. http://www.tunetrapper.com/motorcycle_antenna.html

Long vs Shorty

Wonder how this one would work, being wire wrapped would make it more like factory with equivelant length, certainly would be better for putting a cover on?

Looks like a nice antenna, but it's on back-order on their site.

That level of of product perfection was there from the first time the Goldwing came with a radio back in the early 80's.

Sorry...
Did you forget about the Stators that regularly burned-up?
How about the ComStar wheels, with rivets that would loosen-up?
Timing belts that would bust, and take out the top-end of the engine?
If you loaded your bike up with accessories (who didn't?), they'd start to head shake violently in the twisties...
The factory radio in mine quit sending sound to one speaker: Honda couldn't fix it, and wouldn't replace it.
Perfect? No!
But they were STILL great bikes, and I put 50,000 miles on mine! :2thumbs:

I put 2 shorties on my HD and got better reception with radio and CB than the long. Have not changed the Spyder.
