Thanks, guys. I'm pretty confident this will all work out. Guess it's the pain of getting a deal that's "too good to be true".

Thanks, I will do.
The weather forecast for next week is looking grim here. It's bound to throw it down with rain but at least it won't icy cold.

I was wondering how you got the horn to mount in the down position? The wires on my 2018 street Bob were not long enough to mount that horn the way you have it. I definitely like the sound of that horn. That roadrunner horn is a joke, harley is starting to **** me off using cheap junk on their bikes. Now my bike sounds like it has some ***** and people move when I blow it.

I just turned mine down as far as it would go, taking up all the wire slack. I don’t think it has to be all the way pointed down no one‘s going to see it back there anyway.

I’ve been doing this for years, on every bike that came with that pathetic little pancake horn. The Low Rider was the first one that presented any difficulty. I found the wires too short, and didn’t seem to have any slack at all. So I fabricated a couple of 2” extensions. Simple male and female tab connectors and some wire. When I went to install it, I gave the original wires a little tug and did manage to pull out another inch or so, which was enough to get it pointing down.

Just pull gently, you’ll get enough out.
