I love the the antenna it was easy to install and looks Great. I dont have a CB I just think it balances the bike out and makes it look complete. |

Great antenna. Perfect match for radio. Had to cut 3/4" off antenna to get SWR's balanced at 1.5 on ch 1 and 1.4 on ch 40. was 1.2 on ch 1 and 2.6 on ch 40 before trimmed. |

I don't care what they say go factory antenna and don't waste your time with the cheap one. You get what you pay for in this case. |

Installed this on a 2009 GL1800. Picked this brand over others. Just wanted it to match and be of good quality. Installation is a piece of cake. Marks on in the trunk as advertised. As the instructions say, start with a small drill bit and work your way up. If you don't have metric drill bits, search the web for a conversion chart and always pick the smaller bit that is close to the size you need. I used this conversion chart (https://www.csgnetwork.com/drillsizeconvert.html) You can all ways make the hole a little bigger if needed. I wasn't too excited about drilling holes in my wing with only 2000 miles on it though. I agree with others that trying to set the SWR is pretty much impossible using the motorolla type ends that are on the antenna and CB radio. SWR meter is expecting PL-259 type of connections. Went to Radio Shack and found a series of adapters to go from Motorolla to BNC to PL-259. With the added length (almost 3 inches) to the antenna side using the adapters, the SWR reading was relative high. I'm hoping, as others have asked, that the antenna and CB radio (both Honda Brand) are somewhat pre-matched as far as the SWR is concerned. However, reception is great. Have not had a chance yet to determine transmission distance. Regardless, it looks great and balances out the rear end of the bike. |

Installation is a snap, especially if you have the Kuryakyn passenger armrests already installed. 2 of the three holes dilled for mounting the armrest. Just drill the extra hole for the cable and bolt it on. |

Works well. Be careful drilling the mounting holes! There is a good video for installation available here: https://www.goldwingfacts.com/Videos/1800antennafitting.wmv I use channel 1 and 3 locally and with my riding buddies and didn't set the SWR. Everything seems to work fine as is. |

Purchased Hondaline antenna, received & installed on 6-5-2009. Wingstuff had the best price with free shipping on the internet. Installation was a breeze, left antenna cable in trunk ( Easy access for setting & checking SWR ) Set SWR for an excellent match range from channel 1-40. Very pleased with purchase. |

Installation is easy requires metric drill bits (I only had standard but made it work). Went with hondaline as I wanted it to match the other antenna and it does. |

You can't beat Hondaline for quality and a perfect match to the original radio antenna. I also installed the Kuryakyn arm rests at the same time and they went together pretty straight forward with an extra pair of hands! |
