You only really need to hear/talk with your Platoon and the one in front and behind you.What position did you volunteer for that needs a radio?

Assistant Platoon Leader SR 2023Individually, know your limits and be prepared to ‘tap out’ if the WX gets to be too challenging. Catch up when you can at a stop.

Assistant Platoon Leader SR 2023Pack like you’re carrying it on your back.
Pack like you’re walking into the hotel with helmet in one hand and everything else in the other hand.
Don’t Pack like you’re on a around-the-world-solo trip.
Pack like you’re on a day ride not far from home.

Does your bike have a CB?

Assistant Platoon Leader SR 2023Have you tested the functionality of the CB as it is? I have the J&M in-fairing antenna on my 14 Limited and it is quite serviceable for bike-to-bike comms with a small group.
For longer range when I ride with my trunk I have the HD short CB antenna in its original position on the trunk and can easily talk from tail-gunner position to platoon leader position and can mostly hear the leaders of other platoons.
If the antenna you have fails, then a better coax from the radio to a simple antenna mounted on the trunk, and grounded well to the base of the trunk should work well enough.
CB on a motorcycle is never going to reach out as well as a car system, just no ground plane. So you kinda have to manage your expectations against your needs and go from there. If you are in a position on the Run where you need a CB then it makes sense to get something working as good as you can afford. If you just want to listen (talking on CB by non-leadership is frowned upon) then your in-fairing antenna might be enough. Test it.
