Stubby antennas for Harley-Davidson touring models are a narrow, established niche — a handful of specialty brands, not a wide consumer catalogue — so we’re covering six verified options spanning roughly $15 rubber replacements to $30 billet-aluminum antennas rather than padding the list. All fit the common 1998-2023-plus touring range (Street Glide, Road Glide, Electra Glide, Ultra Classic); confirm your exact model before ordering.

Kuryakyn Hidden Antenna
Pick 05 of 06

Kuryakyn Hidden Antenna

A concealed-mount antenna for 2014-2025 Harley touring models that tucks the antenna element out of sight for a cleaner look than a visible stubby.

Rydonair 7-inch Short Antenna
Pick 06 of 06

Rydonair 7-inch Short Antenna

A budget rubber antenna with an internal copper coil, sized to fit Harley-Davidson models across the 1989-2026 range.

  • 7-inch flexible rubber construction
  • Internal copper coil for reception

  • Flexible design survives road vibration well
Cons

  • List price runs higher than NAMZ’s rubber option, though frequently discounted

Buying tips

  • Confirm your exact Harley model and year before ordering — several antennas here (Kuryakyn Hidden, NAMZ) list specific compatibility windows that don’t cover every touring year.
  • A hidden/concealed antenna (Kuryakyn) gives the cleanest look but is worth checking against your local radio reception before committing, since a shorter or concealed element can trade off AM/FM range.
  • Billet aluminum antennas (CravenSpeed, NAMZ NRA-CA1) hold their finish and won’t develop the surface cracking that rubber antennas can after years of UV exposure.
