Default Coil and horn relocate: Greatest Ever!

I have pulled off the greatest coil relocate with an emphasis on "hidden" coil relocate and hornbegone manuever ever manuvered!

The coil has been my bane for years now and early this year it came to me on how to solve it's menacing ways, I have tucked it away and have liberated the V-twin engine to be displayed as it should be, no stupid coil blocking the rear cylinder, no more wires and cables hanging behind the cylinder when they didn't have to be!
Two things make the bike the icons they are, the engine and the gas tank, that's why Dynas and the Road King are the best looking Harleys, they capture it!
But Moco engineers haven't given a hoot about making what should be the standard, just look at that cowbell horn for God's sakes!
There is NO, as in ZERO amount of cowbell needed on a Dyna. Just what the hell are you people doing with horns anyway, I never use the thing, got absolutely no use for a horn and making it larger ain't gonna make it better.

I've done some other bits on it, shed around 33lbs which was one of the things I wanted out of the work I've just finished on it. A lot of time went in on this work, after determining to do it and delving into it a lot of it was a bit of blindly finding my way through a dark cave but it was worth it.
I'll let this sink in, Cheers!

Looks very clean! I'll bet it's tight under the gas tank.

Now just cut off horn tab from center support and it will really look factory!!

Won't it be 'overheated' hidden away out of the airstream ?

Thanks, I do have to hit the horn mount with another coat of something black. Under the gas tank is unchanged except for large10.mm plug wires under it.

It has circulation but not like it did before but nonetheless I expect it to survive well enough.
