Motorpig Posted October 30, 2010 Share #2 Posted October 30, 2010 Not sure what you are asking exactly...are you thinking about going to a single antenna for both AM/FM and the CB? Be a little more specific and you'll get a lot more help from the site. You can run both the CB and the AM/FM antenna from a single Antenna and there are other options for an Antenna instead of the stock whips. Check out this: http://www.walcottcb.com/firestik-fl3b-firefly-foot-flexible-antenna-p-897.html I replaced both antennas on my 04 RSV and i love the results and the looks of them.

mbrood Posted October 30, 2010 Share #6 Posted October 30, 2010 I run 2 3' Firestick in black, one for CB and one for FM... other than the colored tip on the CB, they look the same. I also use the swivel mount so they can be laid down when needed (when covered). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To answer the actual question: Yes the CB antenna will receive AM/FM quiet well, with the exceptions being distant stations while on the open road. Any OEM Venture CB antenna will screw right on in place of the straight AM whip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorpig Posted October 30, 2010 Share #8 Posted October 30, 2010 I too run the same firestik 3' antennas for both. I kept the two antennas as well, I like the look. Follow the link to the Marshall Mod posted earlier. I followed it exactly (with teh exception of the folding mounts) and i had no issues at all. It is a bit of a pain to strip the bike naked (fairing, tank, both seats and the trunk) to run the AM/FM cable but i took the opportunity to use dielectirc grease on everything and also to get some cleaning done on some hard to reach spots. Give me a call if you run into any issues. I can probably help out since i just did mine two weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
