KING TOUR PAK ON THE B

[ths61]

In looking at the cable , it has a cable with about four pins then plugs into the audio unit
under seat. Still trying to figure this one out. would love to put the antenna on the tour pack.
any picts or part numbers would be great, this would make a great heated garage winter project
to keep a winter mind working.

Shortleg0521,

My antenna is under the deck so I can't examine it. If memory serves, the antenna either screws onto a stud, or has a stud to screw into a female threaded base (a variation of the picture below). Inside of the HD trunk, the AM/FM has it's screw on attachment. You should be able to make a patch cable with screw on connectors on each end. Maybe start with a HD patch cable and modify the other end to attach to the B's mount ? Instead of trying to match up the proprietary Honda clip, try using the threaded mount as a connection point.

Maybe JimmyTee can chime in on how he connected his powered antenna. I don't know if he hooked it up to the Honda OEM head unit or one of his aftermarket units.

I’m intrigued by the gizmo between your Dale rack and the rear deck with the 2 large bolts. Is it part of the Dale rack mount?

Are you referring to the hex head bolts or the allen head socket bolts? The hex heads hold the front of the rack to the front spacers and the round socket head allen bolts are where the backrest post mounts.

I see. The Allen bolts are part of the passenger backrest? Honda part, or aftermarket? Looks quite a bit different than the one I have.

Those are aftermarket allen head bolts. I usually get rid of the stock bolts and go with grade 8 when I can. Had those spares laying around and used them since I had extended the back rest about 4 to 5 inches higher for the GF. She found lots more comfort with the back rest higher. Then when I went with the KIng Tour Pak, the back rest had to come off. Now she really likes the Pak with the arm rests and feels "safer" with the Pak back there.
