The CB doesn't work the greatest on the HD ... Not much of a "plane" for reception ... Matching the antenna ( SWR meter ) may nelp if the antenna has a mass / height adjustment

If I am being honest the odds of me ever using it are very limited. This is more of a, it has it, came with it and I'd like it to be complete and available should I choose to use it.

Besides, it'd be cool to have both antenna whips out back and make for a clean look. I know, not the greatest of reason to go through all this but hey, to each our own.

Much appreciated Larry,

I do have an SWR meter for tuning CB's antennas. Makes a world of difference when done right.

Cheers

Cable assembly, CB antenna (For Kit 76000308) 76505-09 - shown as number 5 in the top illustration.
That part is showing up on Surdyke's website. Give them a call to confirm availability.

Hey Barney,

Nice find. I also located and ordered already from Inter-Mountain HD out of Utah. I've ordered a bunch of stuff through them in the past.

I'll know soon enough if this will work.

Ordered:

76000582: AM/FM relocation kit
6505-09: CB Cable Assembly.

I'll just omit the AM/FM cable and use the CB assembly. Seems easy enough!

Cheers,

UPDATE:

Received my parts today. Worked flawlessly and looks clean too. Other than ending up with an additional cable the parts did the job.

Parts needed:

AM/FM Antenna Relocation Kit
76000582
CABLE ASY,CB ANTENNA
76505-09

Now if HD would only just offer CB ANTENNA RELOCATION KIT Item #: 76000308 you wouldn't have to go about it this way. Seems they have it on their 2020 catalog but no way to buy it. Those that advertise it want well over what it's worth and others have no stock or claim its a special order item.

This way works and when ordered from Utah Harley Davidson comes out to 100.51 shipped to CA. May differ based on location.

Anyhow, those who have added the quick disconnect Tour Pack mounts to their 2014 Ultra Limited and up (I am betting this would work for older too) this is a great way to get the CB function back to your ride when the Tour Pack is not mounted.

Cheers

ON another note... if someone with knowledge could be so kind as to reply....

My Astatic model SWR connections are too large for the back of the 2015 CB Module, which connector do I need, to connect my stock HD cable to the back of the SWR ?

A male PL-259 from the SWR to what size connector on the HD CB Module ?

I bought Firestick FL3-B which is tuneable so I'm excited to see if it is an improvement or not
