Was thinking about making my Tour Pak detachable but had a couple of questions. Where would you relocate the CB antenna too? I was talking to a guy I saw today who made his tour pak detachable on his 2015 CVO Ultra Limited. But he said there wasn't a product out there to relocate the CB antenna inside the fairing where he relocated the radio antenna, so he just doesn't use the CB. I really don't want to lose the use of the CB. Also, I assumed the Tour Pak would be pretty light since it's just a fiberglass box, but he said it weighed about 60lbs and wasn't that easy to get on and off by yourself. Anyone else experience this?

 

We added a CB module to my wife's 2014 Street Glide and after using a J&M in fairing CB antenna and the stock AM-FM we were not happy with the range of the CB. We changed it to a CB at the rear and a Antenna Concepts in fairing AM-FM antenna. They are out of Michigan. Better quality than J&M. I think someone makes a kit to convert the CB for detach kits. Hope this helps.

 

So, here CB antenna is now located down where the stock AM/FM antenna used to be?

Yes the CB is now where the AM-FM used to be. Make sure you use the right mast for it as they are different. Had to look real close at the bottom to see where it is stamped CB. The phone number for Antenna Concepts is 734-854-1355. Real nice guy and very knowledgeable.

 

Being an old trucker the one thing I've learned is that the antenna makes or break your CB. The signal is all about line of sight. Taller the better

 

You could run all sorts of antennas, but how far do you want signal to reach? Do you use it to talk to a person just ahead of you, or some distance away?

 

I have the stock antenna now and I can talk to someone a little less than 1/4 mile away. I use it for communications on group rides.

 

I love the detach kit. The kit comes with an AM/FM antenna mount which locates it down low between the fender and saddlebag. Harley makes a CB antenna mount kit which matches the AM/FM on the other side of the rear fender. BTW, I have both mounts - solo and normal - for my tourpak. I have a two piece seat so I can take the pillion off when running the solo setup. The 15's wiring makes the change a snap.

 

You can increase your footprint with a 100W linear amp.
