Universal CB System w/Intercom

The radio has good reception and output is as good as any Goldwing radio. Being able to listen to a MP3 player makes is really nice.
The radio works great unless you happen to get caught in the rain. I have installed this radio on a Shadow and a Harley. I got caught in a sudden rain storm on the Harley and before I could stop to cover the radio with the little cover they provide, the radio was damaged. I previously had the cover blow off while driving, so you can't just keep the radio covered all of the time.
It's installation is a little complicated because of routing the antenea from the rear of the bike.

Installed onto our PC800 Honda along with the 2ft antenna (note my post on antenna installation) and used the Sony portable AM/FM (Walmart $30)walkman for the music input. Now we have communication & tunes too while riding the little (Mini Goldwing) bike.

Only negative was and was not the unit itself. It was having to purchase 6 pin lower helmet cables, since we already own enough 5 pin (Goldwing)helmets/cords and stuff to start our own store. It looks as if J & M was truely wanting to consider customers, they would offer the option of using Goldwing harness adapter cables. Although, I understand marketing, why would they do that, when they can sell another cable or two with every CB2003?

I installed on wife's Valkerye. It was a simple installation except that the chrome mounting bracket does not work on this bike. It is too short. The choke lever is in the way of the unit. I had to machine a spacer bar and lift bracket to get the unit off of the lever.

By the picture the black bracket looks to be taller. It might work but have no personal knowledge.

I ordered the 4' antenna. It is a little wimpy as it bends dramatically when going down the road. I took it off and installed a 2' antenna I had laying around. It was of a larger diameter and does not bow while traveling.

Other than that it is a good unit.

Installed on my wife's Aero 750 trike. Looks good and is a great addition as it has everything we need for CB and misc radio or GPS inputs to play through the headset in the helmet. Wire harness included was simple to install and has more than enough length for us to install the plugs anywhere we wanted on the trike. Drivers plug is on the handlebars and the passenger plug is next to the passenger seat. Looks like a professional install with little effort needed to install it.

Installed this on the wife's new VTX (see profile pic). Price was good. Had used handheld (walkie-talkie style) cb mounted on handle bar of her old bike but the plug into the side kept devloping short ($50 part). So, bought this J&M. Install was straight forward. however,due to time, wired it direct to battery (will install power plate connect when time allows). Quality of xmit is very good (wind noise at speed, but that's a headset issue). Audio input gives great sound with J&M headset for her mp3 player and good receive sound for CB function.
