Post Horn vacancy.
Moved the horn on my '05 FXD to get rid of the ugly *** cowbell and I'm wondering if anyone has any interesting ideas as to what to do with the bracket? I remember seeing a thread with some ideas but can't find it for the life of me. All I have seen is the coil relocation but I do not want to go that route, don't really dig the look. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I have already moved the horn. I was looking for ideas as far as the bracket because I have a carb model and with the enrichner **** attaching to the same bracket as the horn I cant really see anything to do with it...other than just chopping it off which I am trying to avoid.

I pulled the huge cowbell that weighted 3 lbs off my rocker and replaced it with a small black one I bought at the auto parts for 5 bucks. Much smaller and weighs about 5 ounces. I bolted it to one of 2 tabs with holes on the front bottom frame. I put it on the one by the shifter and it's tucked under and disappears with the black frame. The wire was long enough. Nice clean install and cheap.

A challenge coin or other medallion would cover the mount nicely and not block the view of the motor.
