Default Removing the horn.
Is there anything special I need to know about before I rip that thing off the bike? What do I do with the electrical line that feeds it?

Agree. I am 26 years old, almost 30,000 miles under my belt on three different bikes and I can't remember a single time I used the horn on any of them. Not to mention that I think Harley horns are ugly as sin.

Never use mine either, but I hid it behind the rear cylinder so that I can pass inspection.

I swapped mine for a ProPad (that has a Mini Beast built-in) today...comes off easily and there are only two wires. I'd just insulate each tip and hide the wires in case a future owner wants to install a horn in the future.

We don't have inspection in Michigan. So I am clear on that front. Looks like I am going to go light up a cigar in the garage and rip that baby off my bike.

Well tape the wires and learn to yell Fuc^&&*. Practice practice practice. Or pull the horn and leave the cow bell. Geez.
