The antenna is for XM satellite radio. I found a guy that had a few of them. They were made for a custom car builder, that wound up NOT ever using them (I think he said George Barris). They are supposed tio be way out in future's ville. I chose this because: 1) I get awesome reception, and little (if at all) signal loss. Problem with those little magnetic antenna's they give you with XM (or Sirius) is that they loose signal very, very easy. The "gain" is so selective, that leaves from a tree will cause loss. This antenna picks up under full foilage, and even through a tunnel. It has both terrestrial and satellite provisions. They don't use the terrestrial anymore, but this antenna seems to be about 10 times stronger. We ride the mountains out here a lot, and most of those great twistie roads are covered over in trees. Nothing pisses me off more, than to loose a tune in the middle of me diggin' it, only to BLEEP, BLEEP and it's gone. I KNOW THAT IT LOOKS LIKE $hit, but what could I do? I need ed the reception, and besides, I don't have to look at it.
The seat is a Road Zeppelin. Parts catalog tells you that it will NOT fit on a RK, but I figured out how to do it. All I had to do was drill another hole in the seat hold down bracket (flat bar at the back) a little bit further to allow the seat to fit. Easy as pie! Worth it too, 'cause my butt likes the air pockets that are adjustable. I like the fact that I can adjust it while on the road to change pressure points, etc. Expensive, but better than any Corbin I've ever owned. Makes so much sense too. I aslo have a "Vibe Rider" in this seat. By the way, I have a few for sale. They are $129.95 + 7.00 S&H on their website. I will sell to CVO memners for $110.00 including S&H, so I can save you $27.00 and your Girlfriend and/or wife will love you for it to boot! Vibe -Rider will make your lady tell you to "go faster" I PROMISE!!!
