Third photo shows the CB pulled out of the pouch so you can see the entire unit and the connections.Between the two Midland logos there is a seam running horizontally across the unit.This is the connection point for the handheld unit to the power adapter.When you get to the hotel at night you can disconnect the unit from the power adapter and take it with you if you are concerned about theft.

Fourth photo shows the Bluetooth radio adapter and push-to-talk button mounted on the handlebar.The push-to-talk button and the cable to connect the Bluetooth adapter to the CB come with the Sena SR10 Adapter, and both the adapter and push-to-talk button com with simple rubberband-type mounts that make it easy to remove and reinstall these items in seconds.

The last photo shows the antenna mount. Nothing fancy here, I simply wrapped a wide piece of rubber around the base and zip-tied it to the quick-detach sissy bar mount. Its not a very clean look, but I intended it to be a temporary solution. My plan was to fabricate a license plate mount. I was envisioning a flat piece of metal ž to an inch wide and 10 to 12 inches long that I could drill holes into one end that would be spaced to match the two license plate bolts and a third hole at the opposite end for the antenna mount. If you go with the Fire-Stik antenna, you will need to twist the metal 90% at a point between the antenna mounting hole and the first license plate hole so that when the metal is attached to the back of the license plate mounting bracket the hole for accepting the antenna mount would be oriented properly for the antenna. In addition to creating a cleaner look the license plate mount would also put more space between the rider and the antenna which in theory should give you better performance from the antenna, but for now, the current location is working just fine for me, and I usually keep a sissy bar mounted roll bag on the passenger seat so you dont even notice the antenna mount. Wish I could tell you the make and model of the antenna, but a ridding buddy gave it to me and he couldnt remember that info.

Hey thank you. The pics are great. I am looking on line with my phone all the time so they were very helpful. That looks pretty good I have the same model cb but I just got a small 18" antenna with a magnetic base. No where near as sleek as the antenna you have. I have the street Bob dash so I may just buy a small magnetic tank bag for the trip and put the antenna on the luggage rack. The wife will end up with the bags in the car. Thanks again for posting.
Take care
