CB Radio
Anybody tried to do anything to make the CB radio work better? If so, what did you do and how big of an improvement did it make? I am real curious about the SWR readings: are they low enough right from the factory? Any info will be appreciated!

Funny you should mention making sure the antennas are on the right side. I was cruising through my local dealer the other day, just killing time, checkin' out the '08 Ultras. Something was weird about one of them but I couldn't put my finger on it. Every time I walked away from it I had to go back because it bugged me. Then I noticed it: CB antenna and radio antenna were reversed! The other four had them correct but they were switched on the one. Yikes!

Thanks for the info. CB used to be a hobby of mine, I was curious as to what I can expect when I get my new Ultra.

RE: CB Radio
I like the way the stock CB radio works ... I get at least a mile maybe two, which is perfect when riding with a group.
Just traded in a bike with the J&M CB which wasn't nearly as good (but then, that bike didn't have a 'plate' to help reception).
