etcswjoe Posted July 6, 2012 Share #2 Posted July 6, 2012 It will work just fine, make sure you weatherproof the connectors real well. You can add an aftermarket antenna and I am sure someone who has done so problaly has an OEM laying around. If you want to get rid of the CB unit let me know I have someone that may need one if you decide to go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Joe, rather just get an OEM and stick it on there, need the antenna and cable, po cut the cable and stuck it under the trunk. But folks on ebay and Yamaha think they are made of gold. If can't find one kinda cheap gonna just take out the whole thing,probally won't use it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etcswjoe Posted July 6, 2012 Share #4 Posted July 6, 2012 If they only cut the antenna cable that is an easy fix if they cut the control cable that may be a diffrent story. If you do decide you want to fix it and someone has an antenna I would be glad to walk you through it. You could get back up with the parts below: 1 FL3B Firestik "Firefly" Antenna 17.95 1 Stud Mount - #JBC930- Oversize 14.95 1 18" 18SMMPL Pre-made Coax Cable (CB)7.95 1 203EZ - Fold Over Adapter Item: 203EZ (Optional) 12.95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickardracing Posted July 6, 2012 Share #5 Posted July 6, 2012 Does it really bother you that much to go through the effort of removing the cb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to be adjusted to minimize the VWSR that is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigatcsi Posted July 6, 2012 Share #8 Posted July 6, 2012 If Ebay & Yamaha think the Antennas are like gold, how long before some low life figures out how easy they come off? We do a lot of out of town trips and almost always stay at Hotels. I always worry about someone messing with my bike, even though I cover it. Now here is another thing to worry about. craigr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Ghost Posted July 7, 2012 Share #9 Posted July 7, 2012 Sierra has a replacement antenna with cable for $45. http://www.sierra-mc.com/proddetail.asp?prod=AO-GL12-ANT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeWa Posted July 7, 2012 Share #10 Posted July 7, 2012 Wow. If you don't want your cb. How much $? We use the cb a lot for communication between bikes. It never hurts to have a spare. It is so much better than hand signals. especially when you are the bike at the back of the pack trying to convey a message. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
