GaryZ Posted September 24, 2010 #1 Posted September 24, 2010 After researching different antennas on line I found a good deal on an amplified AM-FM antenna at my local PEP Boys! The unit cost $19.99 + tax. I tested and mounted it below the windshield. It works better than the original 48" CB whip. Attached are a few photos for anyone interested in the install.
Cruser Posted September 25, 2010 #2 Posted September 25, 2010 I recently posted this mod, I mounted it in the left saddle bag, the antenna works great.
GaryZ Posted September 25, 2010 Author #3 Posted September 25, 2010 I just got back from a ride with friends where we got 60+ miles out of town. The new antenna appears to be a significant improvement.

GaryZ Posted September 26, 2010 Author #5 Posted September 26, 2010 The CB was bad when I bought the Beast. I removed it and all of it's bits-n-pieces; control panel main recvr/xmtr antenna coupler antenna with mount

Bought the same one from West Marine and mounted it 2 weeks ago in the same spot. I'm very happy with it. Now if I can just find something to do about that ugly CB antenna, I'll be set.
Vonwolf Posted September 27, 2010 #7 Posted September 27, 2010 So what did you do for a CB antenna?? I don't use my CB but from what I see most riders just use the CB for Bike to Bike communication so you relay don't need the big whip antenna, a short one that fits under a bike cover would be nice. I hate having to take the whip off every time I need to cove my Bike. Looks great thanks Pete
