I had a 2009 GL1800 and a radio shack SWR meter. The 2009 GL1800 connectors were standard motorola. I tried to use them on my new 2017 but the CB connectors are just a little smaller in diameter. Does anyone know what these connectors are?

I've not had a customer with a newer Wing requesting an antenna tune, and thus don't have the adapters either. I too have the Motorola ones that I ordered long ago from Radio Shack. I see now they no longer sell them on their web page. I checked Sierra Electronics page and don't see the newer ones their either.

Unfortunately, your best bet might be a good truck stop. If you find the correct adapter numbers, please post them so that I can get them too.
Please keep in mind that anytime I share or give advise about a motorcycle, unless I state otherwise, I am always referring to GL1800's and no other.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
I recently put a Hondaline CB in my 2012 and ordered the adapters from Sierra that Greg linked to and all fit.
Something here is not making sense. Honda uses the same part number for all antennas from 2001-17. To me that means the antenna pigtail for all those years is the same and has not changed.

I surprised to hear the connectors are not the same also!!!! Thought they were all the same, which is why my previous post suggested Sierra Electronics as a source.
Might give them a call @ Toll Free: 1-800-338-6938

when I called Sierra told them I had installed a Hondaline CB in a 2012 and needed to check the SW those are the adapters he sold me. I also needed a meter and they were as reasonable as anywhere so I also got a SWR meter.
Im about a 2 hr. ride from Sierra Electronics. I have stopped by their place of business several times an regardless of who I talk with or what ever I've bought I can only speak of them positively.
Hopefully the OP ends up with the same results.
Just a thought ... maybe the OP misplaced the connectors that work on GL1800s.

On my 2009 the CB antenna connectors were under the seat. On my 2017, the ones I was looking at are for the AM/FM antenna. The CB unit is mounted in the trunk and on the left side are the motorola connectors. (It was dealer installed so I didn't know where it was)
