Will such a set up work Michael Smegielski Waterbury, CT Occasionaly antennas show up on Ebay, but generally go for high dollars. Some of the members use a FireStick replacement. If I ever need to replace mine I'll go that route. I think there's a couple of write ups in the tech section... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard765 Posted October 26, 2010 Share #3 Posted October 26, 2010 Could the antenna from a 2nd gen work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhncue Posted October 28, 2010 Share #4 Posted October 28, 2010 Mine is an 83 that does not have a CB so only has one mast. The one that came on the bike was a long whip antenna. I lost it one night so I put on a car antenna which is much shorter and the reception has really suffered because of it. The long whip picked up stations both farther away and with more clarity. I really miss the original. Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddoggma Posted October 28, 2010 Share #5 Posted October 28, 2010 I went to pepboys and got a 20 dollor universal jap one. Seems to work fine, screwed right on with the included adapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icebrrg3rd Posted October 29, 2010 Share #6 Posted October 29, 2010 I took mine off of my '83. I think my bike was a Royale at one time, but it is missing all the extras now. There are a lot of cut wires on my bike, including the antenna line. If you really want the antenna (has the CB "thingie" in the middle), I can snap a few pics of it and send it off, cost of shipping. I also pulled the box that must combine the CB and radio, I'm not using it as I don't have a CB. I think some wires are cut, tho. I'm not planning on using them, so might as well pass them on to others that need them if they want them. -Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The antenna broke just above the cb adjustment part on my 91. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
