1200 '85 cb

[Chaharly]

I'm getting a CB sent to me by a good friend on the website, but i was wondering. Did they ever make a CB for the 1200's because, i dont think it will mount right. IDK

[GigaWhiskey]

it might of been an option with the Royale. Do not quote me on that.

 

I know you will need different plastic that I think you can get off of the MKII's. I dug into this a while back but did not follow up on it. I would like to get mine in someday.

 

Others with more knowledge on this will chime in. I am sure my thread I had is somewhere buried and deep.

There was an after market CB for the MKI's. Qual-Comm...or something like that.... You see them pop up on Ebay on occassion. Designed to be a plug and play and fit right in the panel in front of the CLASS.

Some of the stuff in this thread might be helpful to you.

I was kinda llooking at finding one for my 85 also, but gave up when i couldnt find one that wouldnt require changes to the bike.

I was thinking about the handlebar mount J&M instead though, it looked easier to install and its newer technology so I think you might get better respsonse out of it.

Being a cheap sort I just velcro'd a handheld Cobra WX38 CB to the panel above the CLASS on the '83. Cost me about $50 bucks off Ebay. I'd love to have a J&M but my wallet keeps saying no..no..no......

I have a MKII CB installed in my MKI. I moved the class up to the front and put the CB in that spot. I had to make a filler out of the plastic that I took out. Works fine and looks like it is suppose to be there. You need to get the CB and the mounting bracket. You also have to do a little wiring. The hardest part to get was the cable that goes across from the CB to the Radio with the right angle plugs.

Oh, so maybe i can cut a piece out of the plastic above the air shocks, and put it in about that?

You will need new plastic face plate that it fits into, and if you dont already have the radio and amp you will also need those for the factory cb to work, and you will need to make a jumper for the plug if you dont get the cassette with it.

 

I have an 83 and whoever had it before me did put the am/fm, and cb radio on it and it works fine. All the top fairing peices for mounting the radios will work as long as they are 83-93.

 

You can find them new at Bikebandit.com

But you need to hook up ALL the wires, huh Lewis?!?!
