Buster Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Anyone figured out a good place to mount a CB radio antenna on the RT? I'd like to use the factory radio antenna location (no BMW radio on my bike) but I don't know what kind of CB antenna might fit there. Any suggestions/ideas would be appreciated. Link to comment
CraCol Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 You sure you want a large whip antenna in front of your face while riding? Link to comment
Velocityguy Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I was also thinking about mounting a small CB antenna up front where the usual AM FM antenna was to go. A small FireCreek NPG wouldn't be very obtrusive there. Link to comment
Tony G Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 My brother made a CB bracket for my RT; it slides out for the trunk, in when the trunk is off - real trick. He might consider making more brackets if asked See http://www.farklecity.com Link to comment

Buster Posted December 9, 2005 Author Share Posted December 9, 2005 I just ordered a Firestik DS14-FG. It's a NGP unit about the same size & style as the AM/FM radio anthenna that came on the bike. Looks like it will mount in the same fairing hole just fine. Probably won't give me the range as the 4' Firestik I had on the back of the old R1100RT but it'll be fine for my purposes. (I hope) Link to comment
