Default Horn relocation w/pics

Pull the cowbell out, relocate my horn between the frame and the rear cylinder.

Looks much better without the cowbell. If you cut off the mount tab it will clean it up even more.

That looks much better. You have to be a real traditionalist to think the cowbell looks great. How loud is that new horn compared to stock?

It is much louder than stock for sure but the new horn is a low note horn, I believe the stock one is high note, can't really compare the two. I like to have 2 but it doesn't seem to have enough room anywhere on the bike.

You don't have to cut it off it will unscrew with some
vise-grips.

Did the exact same thing just after getting my new Fat Bob. Really didn't like that big bling horn cover rattling about like it was going to fall off.

The threaded hole on the back of the battery box is where the motor for the active exhaust mounts on some international models.

JRK I have to say your bike rocks man. I love the way you have it set up. that is a very tough looking bike (which is not easy to do in blue) . You got it right my compliments. I always did hate the horn cover on these things.
