    Default Anyone know who makes the OEM CB Antenna?

    Anyone know who makes the OEM Factory RT CB Antenna? I need to replace one and BRB used m6 threads and most Antennas are 3/8. Would be nice to contact the supplier/manufacturer to get a replacement. I also thought about drilling the "Block" and taping it to a 3/8 x24 but thought I would look here first.

    Thanks

    Sorry, I’ e had my ‘14 RTS now for 8 years now, and this is the FIRST post that I’ve seen that refers to an OEM CB antenna. I didn’t realize that there was such a beast. I just assumed that they were aftermarket. In any event, to answer you post, I do not know. The last m/c CB that I had was on my ‘93 Gold Wing.

    That's what I did. I used a Firestik brand no ground plane antenna. Only challenge was tucking 17' of coax under the plastic below the passenger seat.
