How to extend CB cable when moving Tour Pak back?
Wide needs more room, so I'm gonna install a George Anderson Tour Pak relocator and slide the TP back a couple inches.
All the wires are long enough except for the CB cable. Checked under the seat and there is no extra, and can't seem to tug any more from where it enters the bundle and goes under the tank.
I guess next step is to remove the Fairing and see if any extra cable in there, and if there is, remove the Tank and try to slide some cable rearward.
Anyone dealt with this?

Was kinda wondering about that, but the CB cable in the TP is basically just an antenna cable with those same "slip together type" connections. Hopefully it will work.

different ohms on that antenna extension. It will work as a receiver but not good for transmitting.
Go to a cb shop and have one made using the correct ohm cable.
probably be less that that anyway.
Truck shops can tell you where one is.

I pulled the Fairing, looks like whoever did my wiring at the factory left plenty of extra cable up front, and just barely enough from the seat rearwards to reach the TP in the stock position.
Gonna pull the tank and open up the wire loom in the morning and see if I can slide a couple inches of cable back towards the TP.
I'll get it...just that nothing can ever be easy
