RE: Ignition mod

There is a brass threaded insert in the back corner of the battery box, I just used a 1/2" by 1/2" L bracket and drilled a hole in each tab, secured it to the battery box then bolted the horn up. Be careful to not tighten the horn stud too much it will mute the sound of the horn. I used a rubber washer and loctite to let the horn "float" on the bracket, the wires keep the horn from rotating. No issues with heat from the head/exhaust either. Hope this helps.
