For those that are interested in installing a J&M CB system for your RT (2015) there are a couple things you need to know:
1. I could not find any J&M CB mounts that would fit my R1200RT. There were several that worked for later models but not for the 2015. I settled on a Tech Mount and fabricated a platform that I could mount the CB radio to.
2. The FGA-345-12Rt, which is a floating ground adapter that connects the J&M CB to the stock stereo system on the RT, does not fit the 2015! You will need the FGA-345-16GTl for the 1200RT. The 16GTl fits all connections and works awesome.
3. The antennae mount on the rear does not really fit and has to be modified in order for it to work. The top case on my RT made this a little tricky. I ended up using spacers and having to drill 2 small holes into the rear of the bike to make the mount work. Secondly, with the changing of the mount it made the grounding of the unit challenging.
All in all, after a lot of trial and error and finding out what worked and did not work, i was able to get the system installed and working beautifully. If there is anyone that is thinking of installing a J&M system on their 2015 or later RT I would happy to provide any additional insight to make your installation easier.
The system works awesome !
