Where do the controls mount? I'm guessing up on the bars but to keep it clean don't the wires have to be run inside the bars? I remember internally running the wires for my evil apes and it was murder, I can't imagine taking the bars off and trying to run more on top of what's already in there.

by horn bracket do you mean the horn itself on the left side of the bike or up on the horn button on the bars? If you mean up by the horn button where did you run the wires?

On the horn itself (the mount)

No better, or more adjustable shocks for a softail. Stripped down, loaded up, or 2 up loaded up, same ride just hit the switches. Just got back from Sturgis and had zero problems. Rode loaded down and pumped up on the way, and rode in town stripped and slammed. It was a blast demoing for people. Even got to demo it at JD's booth.

It comes with a bracket to mount the switches to the bikes horn mounting location, the switches mount just below the fuel tank and above the horn. You can mount it any where you want to all you need to do is extend the wires and make your own mount. It is designed to be plug and play.
Been thinking of placing the switches on the side of the fuel tank mounted speedo housing for easier access and to make room for the air horns that will be going on in the near future.

$1200? Looks like they want $1550.00 on the Shotgun site.
