PROCEDURE:

the passenger grips to the seat. Grasp seat and pull up
and to the rear to remove.
3. Open trunk lid and remove the four screws that retain
the left trunk side pocket. Set aside.
4. Once the side pocket is removed, locate the two “+” marks
on the left inside of the trunk. They should be approximately
directly across from where the right antenna is mounted.
5. Carefully drill a pilot hole in the center of both “+” marks.
These two holes should be approximately 21/4” apart.
6. Measure the halfway point between the two pilot holes,
or about 11/8” down from the top hole.
7. Drill a pilot hole in this location also.
8. Carefully enlarge all three pilot holes to 3/8”.
9. Remove the front left bolt holding the trunk to the bike.
Retain this bolt for re-installation later.
10. Run the antenna wire through the center 3/8” hole and
mount the antenna to the trunk by inserting the two
shouldered bolts through the antenna stay, through the
trunk and into the antenna base. Hand tighten only for now.
11. Re-insert the front left trunk bolt through the antenna stay,
and trunk. Tighten to 20 foot-lbs.
12. Carefully torque the two antenna base bolts to 10 foot-lbs.
13. Install the left side pocket, routing the antenna wire through
the hole in the side pocket down under the seat and
connect to the CB.
CAUTION: Route the antenna wire under the frame members
and take care to not pinch the wire between the frame and seat.
Secure the wire so it cannot move.

of the seat are inserted into the top shelter, and the
prong on the front bottom of seat is inserted under the
shelter setting stay.
19. While pushing down on the rear of the seat, install the
passenger grips and bolts. Tighten bolts securely.
20. Before transmitting on the CB, it is advisable to have the
SWR checked and the antenna adjusted if necessary to
prevent damage to the CB.
WARNING!: Before operating motorcycle,
be sure all hardware is tight.
