Check out Firestik and Right Channel Radio for their info libraries.
LOTS OF GREAT AND IMPORTANT CB INOF!!!
Here's my setup. The radio bracket is screwed to the roof/windshield support above the mirror. I drilled the roof right above the interior lamp for the antenna mount which also has a redundant ground you can see in the pic. I also installed a redundant ground from the battery to the body. Trying to get the best ground plane possible. My SWR readings arn't as low as I'd like. I need to replace the 2' Firestik with a 3'. The antenna and spring mount flex well and I have not broken the antenna even after a hole lot of branch hits over the past year or so. All the antenna hardwear is stainless. The Bike rack comes off when I go wheelin'.

Mine is a Cobra 19 and my antenna is a magnetic Lil' Whip. Not sure where they came from since they were gifts. My CB is tucked between the drivers seat and center console. I stuck it there until I got it mounted and it just happened to stay. I plan on mounting a Firestik on both sides behind the back tire, one for CB other for FM radio.

Mine is a Midland and I got it at a local truck stop off the interstate. I honestly can't remember how much I paid for it, maybe $30-40? I use a magnetic base antenna since I only use my CB on trail rides and store it in the back when not in use. I won't even guess what I paid for it, because I just don't remember.
