I used the same exact remote but velcro'd it to the back side of where yours is. All I do is reach up behind and hit the button. It's out of the weather, hidden from view and works like a champ.

A CB antenna is "tuned" - just cutting it is to invite problems! I'd suggest looking at the J&M "shorty" antenna's, or buying the ones made for the '09's. From the rear, the right side is the CB antenna, IIRC.

Thanks Texas!

Yeh I remember my younger days tuning those whips to get the SWRs just right, that's why I was asking..

Ok bud, thanks again.
Oh what about the radio though? I hear it's ok to cut

You can, as long as ya have the SWR meter to reset it - you WILL lose range, though.

If you split the case on your garage door opener and it has micro buttons, you can wire the opener through a 4 prong 12v relay to your high beam wire. When you flip the switch to high it will open the door. You can also wire it to your brakes. I got the plans from a guy on ebay. You have to solder wires to the mirco buttons. 4 years and it still works great. The remote tucks easily under the seat. Beats the price of Harley's $300 plus opener.
Good luck

Default Radio Shack siren install

Just did a dual siren install the other day on my 07 Ultra. Had the wife go out and move the bike (without the FOB) and it scared the bjesus out of her......
Course I wasn't laughing so hard when she caught me....

One thing I noticed is that immediately after the install was complete I got a chrip when brushing up against the bike, as some of you have mentioned. Since that one time, no more chirp.... After reading a few of the other posts I thought it would chirp all the time when you approached... Guess not??

You will get a chirp after you turn off the ignition and it arms itself...you will get a chirp when you turn on the ignition and it disarms...other than that you will only get the siren if you try moving the bike.

Default 09 RK classic license plate

Has anyone modified their "billboard" license plate bracket to lay flat or at an angle? Looks like it could be done, but I want to check before I attempt it.
