Guys, I hope someone can help me here.  I have a 2014 Ultra Classic Limited.  My CB radio has excessive static only on incoming transmissions.  Outgoing according to my fellow riders is crystal clear.  The module has been changed out.  If I shut the engine off the static goes away.  I replaced spark plugs and wires.  I changed out the headset and checked
all my grounds in the tour pak and in the front fairing.  I am not sure where to go next.  Any suggestions.

Check the routing of the antenna wire under the tank- make sure it goes up the right side of the tunnel ( furthest from the coil/plug wires). While there, ensure the front coil wire is isolated from the frame ( clips should hold it clear)
Also check antenna connection behind the seat/in front of the tour pack for corrosion. Verify the ground on the shell of the antenna where it mounts on the tour pack.
Ignorance is bliss, and accuracy expensive. How much of either can you afford?
