Wow! This was a job I wish I had paid someone else to do. The CB went in pretty easily but boy your sure have to take a lot off to get it in. Only thing I didn’t like on the CB was the non-standard antenna connectors. Most CB and VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) meter use PL-259 connectors. To use a VSWR meter on this one you are going to have to make some adapters most likely. Got it all back together and everything works. |
What a nice piece, looks great, install was a breeze, love the special no spill/no splash lid. Great piece for the money. |
Nice piece, adds a nice touch/sparkle. Just a suggestion when removing and reinstalling the spring, I used a nylon wire tie inserted it at the spring adjacent to the hook on the kickstand, looped and used that as a pull ring to extend the spring over the hook. Did the same when I reinstalled the spring and then snipped the wire tie. Very easy install. |
Nice accessory, quality is excellent; passenger says they’re extremely comfortable. What more can you say. Installation was easy; having to use the three parts from the old boards just made the install that much more satisfying when the job was done and the opening and closing worked perfect. |
I'm with Carson on this. Also, the color doesn't match the dark blue 2007. Looks like a "Pep Boys" add on rather than custom. I'll send them out to get painted to match eventually. Maybe ColorMatch should look at providing these in a matched color |
Get yourself a 1 1/2" plastic spatula for removal of the left and right fairing molding. You'll need it for other work requiring their removal. (avoids scratches with a screw driver. If you are going to install both upper and lower sets, it's a little easier to install them both at the same time. Both are easy installs but, there is no torque setting provided. Topkelley...could you provide us with a suggested torque setting since you recognize the importance. Color does not match the 2007 Dark Blue. As it is, it looks like a "Pep Boys" add on rather than something custom. I'll eventually send them out to be painted to match. Maybe "ColorMatch" should look at providing these in the right color |
Quick and simple addition that really looks great. Nice little bit of detailing. |
Great addition to the radio. Fits well and looks great. Dresses up radio area well. |
