jilldwr Posted November 17, 2013 Share #1 Posted November 17, 2013 I want to disconnect the CB radio and remove it from the bike. Would the Radio still function correctly if I do this? Has anyone else removed their CB's and what affect did it have on the remaining system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted November 17, 2013 Share #2 Posted November 17, 2013 I'm thinking probably nothing. Since the radio is located back under the trunk it probably just has a cable... been there..can't remember.... and just unplug it. As far as affecting the rest of the system?? Give it a try and see if everything still works. Why would you want to remove the CB in the first place?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2WHEELSFORME Posted November 17, 2013 Share #4 Posted November 17, 2013 I removed mine and have no problems. You can even do it in a way that it can be restored if you change your mind or sell the bike. To answer the question "why". If you don't use the CB, don't like those dual big whips, then why have the weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't use the CB, don't like those dual big whips, then why have the weight. My thoughts exactly, I'd like to remove the antenna, and the unit, I've never used it. So, I'll just unplug it at the radio, under the front fairing, and remove the CB (under the trunk) and the whip. No impact on the stereo if I do this. Great, Thanks for the info.

Guest tx2sturgis Posted November 18, 2013 Share #6 Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) Why would you want to remove the CB in the first place?? Probably the same reason that some owners remove the cassette player. Sometimes less is more. Edited November 18, 2013 by tx2sturgis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2WHEELSFORME Posted November 18, 2013 Share #7 Posted November 18, 2013 I left it connected inside the front fairing. I covered the exposed end where it no longer has a unit to hook to so that moisture etc. can not get inside the cable. I purchased a universal antenna about 6 inches tall and black for the FM. It was cheap and works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I disconnect there or only under the fairing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circa1968 Posted June 3, 2021 Share #9 Posted June 3, 2021 Yes. There are two audio connections under the seat. One goes to the CB & the other goes to rear speakers & headset. Should be obvious what each connection is, just trace the wire back from the connectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
