I installed the HID on my 2008 FLHX. I had a DAKOTA DIGITAL electronic antenna module under the fairing. Because the HID module generates a huge amount of radio interference. I disconnected the fairing antenna and purchased an antenna relocation kit from Harley Davidson and reinstalled the original whip antenna behind the bike. This puts extra distance between the HID module and the antenna which allows me to pick up most radio stations without interference. The weak ones don't really matter anyway. This will most likely not improve the CB issue though
By profession I am a two way radio communications specialist and I will try to design an interference suppression scheme. When I do, I will communicate this to the forum. But since I prefer to ride this may take a while.
I'm considering wrapping my HID ballasts and wire out of the ballasts to the bulbs with 3M 420 lead tape. Possibly using the same tape to put on the CB module and CB antenna lead wire in the fairing area. Any experts in electronics here that think this might work to help the CB with the HIDs on? As I said before, when I have my HID lights off, I get great transmission and reception. When I turn on the HIDs I get about 50 to 100 feet of transmitting capability.
