SJPZZZ,
Welcome to the site, and make sure you include pics of your ride in the new member section.  A lot of people have done what your friend did to their factory whips.  Unless you know exactly how long to cut them, you've detuned them worse then when they came from the factory, which was bad enough.  If he doesn't do a lot of talking on his CB, he'll be okay because he won't be putting reflected power back into the finals of his transmitter.  You're much better off with the J&M's...glad we could have been some help in your decisions....

Cheers ,
Red

SP, welcome to the party.  Glad to see you are into security, your avatar is great.

You may want the Clampetts guarding your wallet around here, someone is always getting into it.

SP. Welcome to the site!

Glad you liked the Antennas. Just got mine (even before my bike is here). These are great looking antennas.

Thanks, Working on my FNG NEWBIE pics and post. I believe these antenna are the best choice, ordered them last night.

I just read the last 7 pages of this post and I might have missed someone else doing this. I cut 12 inches off from both antenna masts. The FM antenna is not a problem. It works fine but is receive only. I added 12 inches of 14 ga. wire between the antenna mast (inside the tour pack) and the wire that cnnects to it. Since it is on the same side of the tuning coil as the section I removed, the effective length is the same. I believe the SWR should be as good as it was from the factory. I really don't want to hear anything over about 5 miles anyway. I just don't want to destroy the finals in the radio. I will check the SWR when I get up the courage to pull the fairing.
CUDOS on this extreamly well read and managed site. You are realy doing a service. My 07 red/black SEEG is my fourth new Harley in five years. My last one was a 05 red SEEG. I love the 110. I also have a 1977 blue FLH with 12,000 miles. It was my Dads.
I just got it out (upstate NY) and I will deal with the lean mix / muffler stuff next. Anyway, thanks.

Wow,
Interesting mod you did there.  I'm surprised that setup works.  Replacing an equal length wire inside of the tour pak does not equal what you took off of the whip.  All you did was add another piece of wire between the coil and a badly detuned antenna...you can take the SWR measurement in the tour pak and it won't be much different from when you take it at the back of the radio...the length of coax isn't long enough to cause that much loss.  I'm not sure where you got your info from on doing that, but I wouldn't run long on that setup...if it does SWR out good, I'll be absolutely amazed...Get the J&M's, they are worth the money spent.  Just my $0.02.
Cheers ,
