That does not sound dumb - yes, they are marked so you know which side they go on.

The antenna location was not an issue with the ground kit.

 

The CB is on the left side on my 14 Limited. Could it be pre-Rushmore's had the CB on the right?

I just bought a Hustler HQ-27 Black Center Loaded 55" CB Antenna with an adapter to mount it on the stock antenna stud. This was a very popular CB antenna due to its range and is still in use by many truckers. The SWR is supposed to be tunable to 1.5:1 or better. 1.5:1 ratio or below is considered a passable broadcast signal. Hope to install in the next couple of days. Would have it installed now but I just haven't had the time to pull off the outer fairing to tune it, and I am not going to leave an untuned antenna connected to my CB.

 

both my 09 Ultra and 14 Limited the CB is on the right, you better double check

 

Without a doubt on the left.

 

Has anyone connected a SWR meter to a 2014 or later CB module in the fairing? Will I need a TNC to SO-239 adapter like previous versions, or will the SO-239 fit onto the CB module?

 

For $5, I went ahead and bought an adapter. Will let me help friends even if I don't need it.

Miles of TX - your CB is indeed on the right hand side. The picture that you showed us is your radio.

Look at the right hand side - that is your CB

 

I did look at the right side. No coax cable. Not saying you are wrong, but it seems odd that the radio would have coax but the CB doesn't. So to clarify, there is no coax connector for the CB antenna?

EDIT: I stand corrected. CB is on the right. What looked like coax and a standard CB cable was not what it looked like. Once I disconnected it I could clearly see it was the radio antenna cable. Only thing I see on the right is the ground wire to the ground plane in the tour pak, so that tells me for sure the right one is the CB antenna. My bad, and thank you!

 

Lift up the liner on the right rear side. It comes from underneath if I remember correctly.

 

Miles of Texas - you are correct in that it is the ground wire on the right that connects to the plane.

There in is the issue because that wire is not shielded. Plus, the bike frame is split so, there is not a good ground from the front (battery) to the a=back - to the ground plane.

This is whee that CB kit comes into play. First, there is a cable that connect the front frame of the bike to the rear portion of the frame. Then, that same connection is run to the ground plane in the tour pack.

From there, a new shielded cable goes to the antenna on the right hand side. Some say the cost of the kit is pricey ($101( however, I like things that are built right and made for the bike. So, I opted to get is.

Here is a picture of the new shielded cable on the bike.
