Ham radio

Doable for both  hf and vhf/ uhf.  I  haven't mounted any of mine on the quad but I plan  on it down the road. You'd need a good tuner , especially on hf since  you would be seriously lacking in  ground  plane..  Some  hams  have taken  a  long  wire  to stretch out for  a bit of  ground plane when  stopped for lunch  or in a camp for the night.  I  have used my  gear mobile in my truck  and with my mobile antenna mounted  on the railing  on a 22 ft. boat.

I  used  an Icom  IC 730 ,MFJ 949 tuner and  Swan  model 45  80 - 10  mobile antenna. the combo worked well on all of the hf bands.   I  miss that antenna  with its  monster loading coil and manual  sliding tap  for band switching.

With the  compact  hf/  vhf  rigs , automatic tuners and a wide choice of mobile antennas available  now,  the complete setup  would take up  very little room  on your front or rear rack.

      I’m looking for a top end kit for a Yamaha. I would like to see how well the engine runs before spending $6-$7 hundred on oem. Niche has complete kits from $1-$2 hundred.  Anyone have experience with Niche or similar Chinese companies?

      Are there any good mods for adding a radio, or Bluetooth speaker that's kid friendly? My son thinks he needs music while riding around.

      So here where I live in Newfoundland Canada, they let you drive your bike on the road provided it’s registered and insured same goes for crossing highways but on trails you don’t need to be insured. And I don’t even think you need a full license to insure your bike they said it was up to the insurance company. I’m trying to get my old 1985 Suzuki 250 registered they have to do a search for it to make sure it hasn’t been in anyone else’s name first. Hopefully it comes back clean I am pretty excited
