HR Radio Modifications.
Unfortunate modifications some organisations are making to mount HF radios. Off-road capability, pedestrian safety (MVCs) and /or forward visibility are compromised.
Would be better to purchase a rear antenna mount.
Example 1
Example 2
I don’t think that even with Michelin XZLs fitted ( right modification ) they will over come resistance given when that monster digs in on approach uphill or down!
