jaxbb3 Posted July 24, 2013 #1 Posted July 24, 2013 Good Morning, My name is Bill Bright and I live in St. Augustine FL. Last night I bought a 99 RSV with just over 15,000 mi. Been riding over 20 years and am currently a MSF RiderCoach (that's how I pay for the toys). I did a little research here and was given some info from Don when I registered for my 60 days trial. Any info you all care to share would be greatly appreciated. I was reading about the cb since I have never had a cb on a bike before and read that the cb ant should be mounted on the left side as you are sitting on the bike. Well, on mine the cb ant is on the right. Just to clarify, the cb ant (the one with the looad coil) is mounted on the left (shifter/clutch) side and the radio ant on the right (front/rear brake side), correct? The seller told me he had the ant mounts repaired under warrenty and they were mounted at the dealer so I just want to check. The bottom of the tour pak has also been repaired. I haven't taken delivery yet so I don't have owners manual so I have some questions I won't ask until I get toread the book. By the way, I also have a 98 Honda VT1100T Tourer and on that forum they have posted adobe file with the Shadow service manual available for download, anything like that out there for the RSV? Ok been a little long winded so I'll stop for now. Thanks in advance.
Freebird Posted July 24, 2013 #2 Posted July 24, 2013 Glad you have joined us. Yes, the cb antenna should be on the left when sitting on the bike. Unless they REALLY did some re-routing of the cables which isn't likely. Easy to tell though. Just look at the cable where it exits the base of the antenna. The CB is mounted in a black box under the tour pack. The cable from the CB antenna should go right into that box. Manuals are indeed here. See this thread. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=91
