Need some suggestions for a C.B. for my standard

[Beast03]

Hey guys, Im starting to get ready for the 2011 riding season and I have discovered there is a large part of the area I am going to be riding in that does not have cell service. I am looking for a c.b. radio that will work well on my standard. I have complete faith in my beast that she won't break down, but you know, just in case. Any suggestions that anyone has will be helpful.
Thanks

There was an entire Hondaline setup for a Standard/Tourer on eBay recently. I don't remember what it sold for but maybe Mike at www.valkyrieblingandmore.com will have something for you.

All the best,

Mark

THIS IS WHAT I HAVE




also J & M corporation has a very nice set up. you can get a solo radio or a radio for the rider/co-rider which has intercom. If you go with J&M, I recommend not getting their antenna, you can get a better antenna much cheaper at a truck stop. If you are going to use my type of Cobra radio you will need a push to talk button and a headset pigtail, i got mine from Air Rider. If you use a J&M, you will need a 6pin lower cord.

A lot would depend upon whether you wanted to listen/broadcast while riding, or simply have a radio available for emergency purposes.

I remember smokinjoe went to a lot of effort to mount a radio on one of his bikes (and posted a lot of photos), but (if I recall correctly) he was not satisfied with the result.  Might want to check with him for ideas.

I have a midland, bought it on amazon for about 75 bucks. added a plug in for headsets and talk button from air rider. Also got a mount from them. About an additional 75 for these hookups and mount. I run it on rechargeable batteries, but it comes with car adapter that can be hardwired to bike. Very low drain on batteries can run all day and then some. I recharge as needed.
