My bike for some reason came without the CB unit under the trunk and no CB antennae. Why it was like that, I have no idea. I can only assume the original owner took it off for some reason, but never gave it to the 2nd owner (who I bought it from). I can't seem to find these things anywhere, radios aren't too hard to find, but the CB unit is. So just wondering if someone might have one they could part with or know where to look? 2006 RSV. Also looking for the passenger grab handles as well.

Hi everyone, in 2007 I asked if anyone could help me with a radio problem on my US spec RSV over here in the UK http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=9716 I did post it on the wrong forum though. This is a reply to my question for the UK riders with US spec RSV's. Problem is UK and US radio frequencies are different, US radios go up in 0.2 MHz steps and UK radios go up in 0.1 MHz steps so many UK stations in between the US ones are unobtainable. You can get 102.3 but not 102.2 you get the idea. I spoke to Clarion and others but they could only suggest that I fit a frequency converter. Easier said than done. I have now managed to buy one on e-bay I could not find any anywhere until last week http://www.yaki.co.uk/mpuk/ (this is the Japanese converter though but it shows the connections etc) they are fairly easy to fit but you need to access the radio under the front fairing behind the headlight to couple the unit between the areal and the radio and power it up with a positive supply. Search for AMERICAN US BAND EXPANDER (FM 0.1 Mhz). They claim to be the only company that makes them in the UK. It works great, loads of UK stations. Only one downside it records 107.2 as 107.3 etc or something like that. But I can live with that. Hope this is some use to someone. Best Wishes. Old Miner.

OK, I've only been back riding for a half of a year. Back when I was young, Bike riders that wanted a CB radio on their bike were installing "standard issue trucker type" CB radios on their bikes. I don't know if this is still the case or not. I've seen a few handlebar mounted walkie-talkie lookin' things, but I really haven't had the chance to look at any more modern CB installations. I feel quite confident that the CB equipment I currently have (Galaxy 10-meter Ham converted to CB, 500 watt linear, Texas Star modulator) will not fit on my 1st gen and even if it did, there's no way that the bike could ever pump out enough electricity to power this stuff. My preference for a bike CB would be a Cobra 25 LTD or a Uniden PC66 (either of them being equipped with 50-watt hot finals and a Conex board) but I have no idea if installing either of these type radios is possible. Anyone care to bring me up to speed on what my best options would be for a CB installation on an '84 VR? -
I dont have a royale 1st gen. but I want to add a PTT button to transmit on the FRS radios my riding club like over the CB. many guys have bought one and they install over the left controls and the big box hangs over and feels flimsy... Not impressive for the $125.00 they paid for it from autocom. The one I have is a big fat rubber one that velcros on but feels uncomfortable. Anyone have a good one they installed on their bike? I'm looking at using a chatterbox CB-50 intercom and it has a mic out and speaker in that works with most radios and cellphones. The Midland setup I have now works but is not comfortable to use nor does it use the bikes power so a 3 hour ride has 1 and a half hours of no communication due to dead batteries.

Back before the board crashed there was a special deal posted on here about getting XM radios with an employee discount and the employee codes were listed. Does anybody remember that or was i dreaming?? i know thats how i got mine and im pretty sure it was from this site. it was a LOOOONG time ago. Like 2004. Anybody? Now for the review question... Has anyone used the XM or Sirius radios that have the antenna built in? That looks like it would be a great alternative to having an antenna wire looped around 100 different places to take up slack. Ive been told that they get bad reception. Any truth to that??

Ok I know this has been beat to death but consider it from a different point of view. I have (easy now) a Kawasaki VN800B. It has no on board communication of any type. This is what I want to accomplish: bike to bike and driver to passenger when the wife and I ride the same bike. What are some of the experiences out there with two way radios and headsets. Brands of radios, headsets and place of purchase/price and results would be appreciated. Greying
