I already know how Chief is going to answer this question but for anyone else: How can one remove the TP and retain the CB? I don't really need the amp and don't have room for the HawgWired in the fairing because of the BlueTooth module being inside.

The problem with keeping the CB without the TP is the big load coil that is buried down in the corner of the TP. It needs to remain a part of the installation. If you can find something to do with that, then I think the rest of the job should be pretty easy.

How'd I do?

HD has two CB antennas you can use, 76340-98 (Road Glide) and 76415-06 (Street Glide), moves the antenna to the back, opposite side of the radio antenna.

Hi, Decided on Hawg Wired products for my conversion. Bought from HD-Dude. Great sound. I went with a powered hidden antenna inside front fairing. My thinking was that I would only need CB when on a trip and I would probably have the tour pack on and Cb hooked up. I also decided to eliminate stock license plate bar and go with the HD Street Glide turn signal bar using the Kuryakyn curved license plate frame. The only goog thing about having 12 inches of snow on the ground is that it gives me several months to spend more $$$. Good luck.

    I noticed a big change in the balance of the bike, especially a low speeds. Not having a heavy tour pak behind you is definitely a plus. I also agree with Chief as far as eliminating the amp. I've never missed mine for a second.

Hey BobD...  Are you saying you still had sound from the front two speakers, after you removed the amp and rear two speakers?  I don't get sound, unless my amp is connected.  What did I miss?  I'm going with the HW setup, eventually--but until then, I'd like to have the option.
Thanks.

Charles,

If the amp is removed, the harness needs to be removed also to use the front speakers. It is an all-or-nothing proposition. The harness for the amp connects between the radio and the front speakers. When the amp is removed, the circuit is no longer complete. If the harness is removed and the speakers are connected in std, read non-CVO, fashion, the front speakers work fine.

Ohhhhh....  Thanks Chief.  Ya, I left the harness in place--not sure why at this point.  I did disconnect the cable at the radio, just to test this theory, and no change.  There must be something more involved in the harness, so tomorrow I'll do the job the right way and completely remove it.

Thanks. 

Merry Christmas!
