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. |

The install went alot easier than i had anticipated, just take your time and as others have stated, you don't need to take off the trunk or fuel tank cover, just take off all the fasteners, keep track of the size and placement of the fasteners, raise up the tank cover housing and place a 2x4 to hold it up and the plugs for the cb and fan filters are very accessible. To bad this old technology comes at a very unreasonable price?!! It should at least come with the antenna at that price!!! |

Very nice radio. I had it installed in just under 2 hours. If you do the instsll yourself do not take the trunk off. There is no need to. After you take the seat off, move the big gray connector to one side and you will see the mark on the trunk that has to be drilled for the wire harness.Drill a pilot hole first then use a hole saw to finish. there is plenty of room to do this. And also you do not have to take off the shelter above the tank,i removed all the fasteners per the instructions then just lifted the shelter up and propped it with a short 2x4. Plenty of room to get the connectors plugged in. Doing the install this way will make life easier. |
