Default Horn Relocation ?
Anyone relocate their horn to the front of the bike on the cross piece between the two frame down tubes ? Any pictures ? My leg rests on my horn and when I hit the horn ( mostly on accident when I use my left signal ) I scare the hell out of myself . Figure it would be louder up front and would most likely be replaced with a Wolo horn while i'm at it , that HD horn is anemic !

Stock horns aren't worth a f#@k . I've seen one that looks about 4-5in around and is half the thickness of the stock one. Has an old style grill on it. Sorry don't have a pic.

Relocated mine to a box in the garage. Not the most legal or safe thing to do, but it really cleans up the left side of the motor. My wife's Nightster has the horn located between the front down tubes of the frame like you mentioned.

Think it would have much affect on the air flow and cooling of the motor ?
