Default How to tune the CB antenna 2009 Ultra
I was wondering if someone could tell me how to adjust the SWR on a 2009 Ultra? Before I hook up my meter to check the match, I'd like to know where the adjustment is just in case I have to adjust it. When I had a Goldwing GL1500 there was a set screw at the base of the antenna for adjusting the length.

Thanks in advance!

I don't think there is any adjustment on the HD antenna. It's supposidly not required.

The fixed mast antenna is tuned and has no adjustment. I switched to the Shorty CB and AM/FM antennas on my '08 Ultra. The reception sucks. I'm going back to the stock whips.

There is a way to do it according to the installation instructions for a tour pac mounted CB antenna but I don't know what it is since the instructons are in the Electrical service manual. You might want to visit your HD dealer service department and see if they will share the info with you. BTW, the connections are not standard.

The Antenna mounting base on Non-Tour Pak models are secured with Lock Nuts on the top and bottom. The SWR is changed by moving the antenna up and down using these nuts.
