Would like to replace those long whip antennas that come on the UCs with something shorter and less obtrsuive.  What are my options?  How do they work compared to the factory set up, esp on the CB for transmit & reception.  Thanks in advance. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Jerry,  same as above, just direct from Freedom...same price I think...

http://www.freedomcyclereno.com/eshopprod_cat_2852-23436_product_336753.Freedom_Dual_Antenna_set.htm

I have those on my bike and like them a lot.  I'm not a huge CB user, but in MV and a couple of other times, they seemed to work well...hard for me to know about range though, since I don't have anything to compare them to.

I have the Freedom antennas and they work fine.  The CB antenna has a tuning nut on it and once tuned they work as well as the factory antenna.  No CB on a bike is going to give long range anyway, but on the group rides I have done they worked fine including the Cripple Creek GTG this past year.

Wouldn't you know it would take a member from France to show us these.  Not sure anyone has these as they appear to be new.

I think I will order them and see how they look.

Thanks Jacques and Merry Christmas.

You guys get these and do the beta testing...the SWR being preset interests me and would be interested in knowing how well the CB works from those who have used the CB more than I have.  I'm assuming they are flexible so when you put a cover on at night (on the road) you can bend them over rather than removing them?

I wonder about flexibility, they look fixed to me.

I made holes for the antennas in my full bike cover and my Oasis day cover came with the holes so that's not an issue for me.  Used to fold my long whips over and tuck behind the back rest to put the cover on.  But my CB antenna broke at the spring mount.  Can't say for sure but I'm concerned about bending it that much which is why I modified my full cover.

This is odd that the MoCo didn't provide a velcro opening in the back of the Oasis cover like they do all the other outdoor covers that are made to fit Ultra's. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

I'd really be interested in how the J & M's do with the CB.  I've been thinking about some short ones and having them pre-tuned sounds like the way to go.  If you guys get a set, please post your feedback on them.
Thanks,
Bob

Good Afternoon, Jorge !

Nice style, but it's not flexible for Rjob749  ;)
Did it work with the CB ?
On the site it's only mentionned for AM/FM radio.  :-[

Thanks
