adding CB to '16 SG CVO
- Thread starter remo76

I have a J&M CB on my 16 SGS. Main reason for J&M for me is I have 5 bikes with that CB on them. Going with the HD module would mean a different helmet hookup. I had it installed at the J&M headquarters in Ohio. They made one mistake which gave me a very limited range. They used a splitter to allow the radio and CB to run the antenna on the original cable from antenna to front cowl. The CB needs a separate proper CB cable, the FM ant cable will not work. Installed a separate cable and fabricated a new mount for the CB antenna and all works well.

I bought my parts from http://www.boardtrackerharleyonline.com/ & saved $210 over what Harley wanted + sales tax
ps, the Harley CB only has a range of about 1/2 mile, I like my U-Clear better & it was only $400, The only reason that I got a CB is because I'm riding in the RFTW this year as part of the leadership they require a CB for communication. Good luck on your install.

Isn't Uclear only compatible with other Uclear owners? Not really a CB, more like an intercom system if I am reading their website correctly.
Yes UClear is NOT a CB, it is for bike to bike or Rider to Passenger communications, it will also sync to other brands of bluetooth communicators.
I added the harley cb had to fabricate a antenna bracket but it works well. have a group I travel with that use cb's so added mine. use to ride ultra that had one. now 15 sg special
