This is a great radio. Yeah, a little pricey...but worth it for the plug-n-play features. Installation not for thre faint of heart, but do-able. Truckers say they can't believe I'm talking to them from a motorcycle! Get the Honda antenna. It's the best. |

Installed in about 90 minutes. Plug and play is a great feature. I didn't loosen or remove the trunk for my install, I used a spade bit with a 12" extension that I got at Walmart, and it worked perfectly. Didn't even have to dress the hole after drilling. All that said, i'm extremely happy with the unit. |

When you don't have any other options, this is the one to get. It works pretty well, and I've been satisfied with it's performance. Others say that they can hear me clearly with the J&M 584 headsets. The installation instructions are available on the web, I'd suggest going here for a nice pictorial step by step display. https://www.pbase.com/wingman26/gl1800_cb_install Everything is plug and play. Be patient when disconnecting the wires to add the noise filters, some of them can be rather stubborn. Make sure you are releasing the connector 'holds' You can drill the hole in the trunk without removing it from the bike. Use a large wood spade bit and take your time. I finished out the hole with a rat tail file and everything went smoothly. |

As stated previously, no need to remove trunk, just loosen to drill the needed hole for wiring. Fairly easy install. About 90 minutes. Antenna arrived today and it was about a 30 minute install, some of which was time spent fretting over drilling holes in the trunk, but worked out fine. 2004 Goldwing. |

Purchased a CB Radio kit & Hondaline antenna, received & installed them on 6-5-2009. Wingstuff had the best price for the newest model with free shipping on the internet. Easy to install with help from reading product reviews on this site & especially www.wingman26.com, great info & pictures. As stated in other reviews no need to remove trunk or top shelf ( loosen ) only left & right sides to get to main plug ( fan filter on left & on right side another fan filter with main power plug ). Set SWR & it sounds crystal clear with 3-5 miles of range !!! Very Happy with purchase. |

Was going to have the dealer install it but after seeing what they charged did it myself. Installation wasn't bad, learned about how to take the bike apart. Cleaned everything while I was at it. Works great mostly for cross country travel and emergencies. |

If you do your owen Maintence, Consider replacing your air filter at the same time. But you better have a manual. Should have got this befor our last three rides of 3000+ miles. Knowing what is going on in a group is the safest way to go. |

I'm not going to go over what has already been said, price, install etc. I will mention one point I haven't seen yet, that's when I installed the cb, I got an error msg. CB ERROR. what the??? checked all connections still the msg. Called the local Honda dealer, There response was DUH, when they got that msg they returned the unit as faulty. ENTER Cameron at wingstuff, he did some research for me, Problem fixed. Just remove the negative terminal for about two minutes Hook back up and try. It worked. THANKS Cameron. |

I had no problem with the installation on my 08 Wing, the instructions were a bit off though. The power plug from the motorcycle is on the right side of the bike, the instructions for the cb showed it on the left, no biggie!! The trunk need not be removed, drilling the hole with a 1" blade bit was a breeze. The front shelter could have been left on too, just loosened enough to make the connections. The rest of the wiring was a snap. I have not been on the road yet but with my wife in the front yard on a hand held unit and me down the street on the Wing, I got about a half mile away before losing the signal. |

Once you work passed the price and the installation issues, you will realize it was all worth it. The clarity is very good and range equally so. Spend a little extra and get a good quality Mic system. |

I agree with the other reviews, cost is high, but I think everyone agrees it's necessary. Check out Steve Saunders website for install tips, I installed it on a 2008 and everything was similar. Trunk defiantly does not need to be removed I removed the top shell, but I can see how it could be done without full removal. Overall pretty simple installation yet takes takes a few hours, I did it without the manual (in the mail) but could have used one a couple times. |
