Looking for people who have had any experience with either one. I saw the J&M doesn't require power but the harley one does and it's about 20 dollars more than the J&M,

I have a J&M one. It needs power. I couldn't get it to work. Might be the HID's and amp. It's sitting on the shelf.

 

[LUCKY13]

That's crazy cause the one on the Web site says it doesn't need power may be it's a newer version

I have the HD version.... Works fine for me here.

I took off the long antenna, unscrewed it off the base, and bought a rubber 12" long antenna at Auto-zone and screwed it on. I then bent it under the 4 point hook up for the backrest and tour pak and used a little zip tie to keep it in place. It is hidden by the bag and you don't even realize it is there. The reception is good. A part of me wants to remove it like the video on Youtube and put it under the seat. Just been too lazy right now.

I did the Harley one; works fine. I've got no love for J&M stuff.

Just take the stock antenna and route it along side the fender and under the seat. I had to pull one bolt out of the antenna bracket and rotate the bracket but it works just fine.
There is a video on this mod but I can't seem to find it.

That's what I did it works fine and it was free if I remember correctly I think the top screw goes into the bottom hole and rotate it forward it was really simple and again free!!

I couldn't get any reception when I did the antenna tuck thing. Ended up with an $8 short rubber antenna from the auto parts store. Works fine and bends easily under the tour Pak.

I had the HD version and it worked well. It seems to be kind of hit or miss, I've heard of a lot more guys that think they're crap then those that have a good experience.

I have the HD, works ok. Didn't route around inside of fairing. Left both sides coiled up and secured on top of radio. But now running XM, no problems loosing a station.

 

[FLTRXS20]

I used the HD hidden antenna and it worked fine until I put in an AMP. After installing the AMP the radio reception went to just about nothing. I unplugged the hidden antenna and put the stock antenna back on, now the radio works fine.

 

[BobRG15]

Had the dealer install a hidden antenna in the faring prior to pick-up, no problems to date but note I have done no upgrades to the audio.

 

[tj316]

I have the J & M , it works as good as any I've tried but nothing works like the stock antenna

 

[Bikejockey]

I have a hd hidden antenna setting in the garage
It didn't work worth a darn for me but I'll sell it if you are interested

 

[WSL91]

I have the HD hidden. cut my reception by 20 miles? lose stations sooner. Going back to external

Im using this with no issues so far, mounted under my front fairing

The newer J&M s don't need power. The older style do but I know the older ones don't work very well. I picked one up cheap at a swap meet and tried it. Paid $15 and that was way too much.

the BEST in-fairing AM/FM/WB antenna available for your 2014-2016 Harley Bagger is here, FPA-HCFM14-P Product Information and if they did not work well, we would not sell as many as we do ,,,,,

relatively inexpensive, easy to install and 100% plug-n-play ,,,,,

stop by the BIG J&M Audio trailer at one of the many trade shows this spring & summer and listen for yourself ,,,,,
