RFI in CB and satellite radio

I have had my 2007 GL 1800 CSC trike conversion for a couple of months. Since I have been using it, I have very bad RF interference in my CB. When it is in the receive mode, the RX symbol is constantly on my NAVI screen and there is a strong, consistent, rushing noise in my earphones. I can receive transmissions from other riders, but the noise does not go away when I do and I have to turn the volume way up to hear what they are saying. The noise disappears when I transmit. I am also noticing a strong engine whine noise in my satellite radio that changes with acceleration. AM and FM seem fine.

I have had this bike since it was new and never had these problems before the conversion. I find it hard to believe there is a connection between the two, but I am wondering if my antenna wiring was disturbed during the conversion work or something generating an RF signal is now part of the electrics in the conversion kit. Help anyone?
 
Maybe it could be the Antenna Ground or even Power Ground. ...:Shrug:
