Default Breakout Horn Cover Project
In the words of a famous artist, "Its flooding down in Texas...."(SRV), so riding has been limited. I've always said, "Idle hands are the devils workshop" and TADA!!
1. Chrome Breakout horn cover
2. Chrome belt buckle.....from long ago
3. Fabrication; remove buckle hinges/stud, resurface/file, tap new bolt holes, insert bolts/washers.
4. One of a kind Custom Chrome Harley Davidson Breakout horn cover.

Some companies are asking $200.00, I spend two hours.

Ride on....

We'll i've gotta say that you've made something that's basically worthless on the Breakout into something that's at least good to look at! Nice idea and good job!

Thank you FurryOne and I hate that "meep-meep" horn too!! I hope to find something that's louder and mounts exactly where that one is. You bike is a good choice, Breakout FXSB all the way!!

Ride on.......

Uh, Yeah, you're busted alright. Next thing you'll be showing us is some Whitney/Warschawski tools.

Thanks Cocky and yes Western Auto was awesome. As a kid, I loved the smell of tires when I walked in.

DANNNNG! FurryOne, I did not own W/W, but I did own a Oldsmobile and a Pontiac. At half a century, I've owned some old stuff! I believe I still have and eight track player and the decoy stash box eight track along with it!

I should be leaving this place just in time, worlds gone crazy.

Ride on...
