* HOW TO * under fifty bux *
I've been wanting to relocate my horn ever since I saw the "naked jugs" pics
posted by another forum member.
I decided to try and hide mine behind the battery box.
I modified the "cow bell" by cutting away the portion I wanted.
The first pic should show a cardboard cut out of the useful portion.
After reattaching the horn to this, I bent up some brackets which I used to
mount the horn the battery box.
Hopefully the second pic shows this.
Re-route the wires, and you're done.
The re-routing was a bit of a pain. The horn wires are wrapped up with some others,
so you have tocut 'em away.
I couldn't get any real good pics of the bike as a whole, due to the limited space
in my shed. The horn side now looks like most any without the horn. I'm not sure what
I will do with the stock bracketry for the horn. May just remove the rubber mount, may cut
off the 90o bend ... I've left as is until I decide.
I'm pleased with the look. However, my horn now sounds like a wounded duck.
I'll have to really look at how it is bolted up and how it is positioned to see if I can
get the trumpet back.

i like it! great idea! did you find that heater i was telling you about! they are fantastic
I haven't found the heater yet. I've been working 12 hr shifts the last few days, then got holed up with some sort of cold or virus or something.
Got out of bed today ... and it was about 5 or 6oC. Figured I'd take advantage of the last of this warm spell we've been
having up north.
The volunteer fastener is for the air cleaner cover.
First of all, pick a doodaddy.
.
.
Gonna use an OogaBooga, and first of all a 17/64" penetration, below.
.
.
Tap in this case is for the 5/16 / 18 thread.
.
.
Below, you see I have shaped the doodad for a good fit into the concave recess
of the A/C cover.
Also, see that I have used a stud.
Calculate length needed by trial fit into the air filter
and add on near the depth of the doodad penetration.
.
.
Here below is the finished fastener installed.
.
.
Pictured below, you can see the nut and washer that actually
fastens the cover to the AC itself.
.
.
Wrong color though.
