RE: I got it!! Finally.

Cut the antennae until they clear the doors and then you will be good to go. I cut both of mine and just used a power meter to adjust the power output of the CB at the loading coil until it matched so it won't burn up the radio. It's in the service manual and easy to do. The power meter is not that expensive and if you ever replace the antennae you need to calibrate the loading coil.

Nice ride. Enjoy the smooth ride and extra's.

Found a short pliable rubber antenna at Radio Shack that works great.

RE: I got it!! Finally.

With a little hammering and an anvil, everything looks good with the antennas again. I just bend them down and hook the ball end of the whip into the saddlebag latch handles. Holds them secure without any damage being done.
I just ordered my 8" Sunglass Grey windshield from FAST AIRE PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS.
Should look good.
