I'll chime in... I need a multi function shark fin for my com/nav/data/AV/XM/FM/AM dream suite.

I like it in red.

I sent them an email asking about the AM/FM/XM/GPS combo. There was an indication somewhere on their website that it was coming out. I'll post if/when I hear back from them.

I too would be interested in replacing my outdated antenna on my '91 S-4, and replacing it with an updated shark fin, with XM capabilities. Someone should look into a possible "Group Buy".

Great looking upgrade, one I just have to have. I was wondering how difficult it is to reroute the antenna cable from the left rear corner up to the top center of the hatch. How hard is it to get it under the interior panels and keep them looking smooth as the stock look. My power antenna died so I will fill the hole on the quarter panel and have to paint but that I can farm out.

If they come out with one that works with FM/Sirius I would be in, sounds like a group buy might be in order, has anyone asked them about that possibility? I just did one for metal pedals that ersulted in a 35% discoount.

Any update on this - I am interested in FM/GPS/GSM.
Any body bought one with this capability?

This would be perfect. My '84 didn't have a real antenna. It has one of those window one that, IMHO , suck and I was wondering what style I would use and where to put it.

I think those shark fins scream RICER. They look lame and in my opinion, a shorty stout aerial for the center roof mount is the way to go. The long ones don't look bad, but a short one would do it much better. As always JMHO

Hey Angelo...was that PHAT 928? Guess George got tired of it huh?

Yes it is and I'm not sure, I bought her from someone else.

Probably the antenna booster wasn't hooked up properly and you were getting a weak signal. I have the same antenna in my '85 and don't have any problems with it.

I know he put a lot into that car. It looked great the last time I saw it. Last time I spoke io him, he had more plans, but I don't know how far he got. Good for you! It is a very unique car! Nice V-Rod too...the only Harley thats worth a damn

Keith,
What short antenna have you got that covers am/fm, GSM and GPS.
I would be really interested.
