40 Channel Factory Honda GL1800 CB Radio Kit

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. |

This CB radio is the only way to go for an easy install. Works well but a little too pricey. This is the best price I’ve found so far. |

What can I say -- its a CB (30 year old technology). I approached this purchase as a "tax" on the purchase price of the bike so I wouldn't have switches on my new ride that didn't do anything. An integrated FRS radio would make more sense in todays world but it is a nice insurance policy if you are in need of help or need a bear report for the stretch of road up ahead. If somebody told me a year ago I would be spending close to a grand (including install) for a CB radio, I would of punched them in the face! It works and does all it should. Antenna folds like the radio one does (matched). Built by Clarion. The black box portion lays in the trunk which may interfere with any mats you install there. Dealer installed. Somewhat satisfied (average). |

I used www.goldwingfacts.com for extra pointers on this install, but I have a 07 so you won’t have to remove the speaker grills. You really don’t need to remove the trunk IF you have a Dremel Tool to make that 28 mm hole in the trunk. I used zip lock bags to put my hardware in and also labeled each bag so I would know where each bolt came from when it came time to reassembly. A digital camera comes in handy for referring to how the wires were routed prior to putting it all back together. The CB works great. Don’t forget to disconnect your battery first and reconnect it last. A lot of the bike does have to come apart but it comes apart in big pieces so it’s not as bad as it really looks. I’m a seasoned mechanic and it took me about 4-5 hours to install antenna and the CB. Can’t beat the prices at wingstuff.com! |

A lengthy (4 hours for me) install but not difficult. If possible, get the Service Manual. Some of the parts removal would have been much easier if I had one. I could not get the meter plate and weather cover off completely since I didn't know how to disconnect speakers and other wiring. Thus I had to work underneath these for part of the install. Not hard but would have been better if I could have gotten them completely out of the way. You really don't need to remove the trunk. The drill points are accessible witht he trunk in place. Just be careful. |

One of the most involved installs I've done to date on my Wing but was able to complete it in several hours. The manual instructs removal of the trunk but I was able to drill the necessary holes without this step. It saved me many hours of disassembly/reassembly. The unit will come in handy this summer when me and my brother take the Wings on our yearly outing. |

This is the best motorcycle CB and WingStuff has a great price on it. Don't waste your time or money on aftermarket stuff because this one is integrated to work with your 1800 right out of the box. |

Stock Honda CB installs without much difficulty. Note: check online references for assistance with installing because this manual only makes sense when coupled with other, more-complete references. |

Kind of like that old Cliche,"Don't leave home with out it.. If you are traveling in groups or even by your self, they can really help if you get lost and need help.. Truckers are more then willing to help and not too hard to install after you take the seat off.. |

THIS WAS ONE OF THOSE ITEMS I DREADED PUTTING IN, THE PRICE FROM WINGSTUFF IS SUPER AS IS THE SERVICE. I HAD HELP FROM A WEB SITE I FOUND AT WWW.GOLDWINGFACTS.COM THE VIDEOS THERE REALLY HELPED ME I TOOK MY LAP TOP OUT TO THE GARAGE FOR INSTANT INFO. I MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING WRONG, IT WORKED FIRST TIME. I RECOMMEND USING DI-ELECTRIC GREASE AT ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO PREVENT CORROSION AND FAILURE IN THE FUTURE. I;VE USED THIS METHOD ON EVERY PLUG AND TO DATE HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH MY LAST THREE WINGS. FOLLOW OUR TRAVELS AT WWW.BFDRIDERS.COM HAPPY RIDING! |

This was the cheapest place I found to purchase the CB and antenna, saved about 300.00 over the Honda stores. From all I hear, the 100.00 I paid to have installed was well worth it. It is so much more fun on rides being able to hear and talk to everyone, I get alerts way ahead of the actual obstacles. |
