well here it is,but first bigs tks to dusty2221 and tx outlaw and citori for the tips and comments that helped me out.as you can see in the pics i took the seat post and cut off the bracket that had the 3 bolt holes(2 for the coil and 1 for the cover),then i welded that narrow strip of steel to the horn cover bracket which i also cut. then a small black paint job with a rattle can of black on the bracket and it was done.ordered plug wires from USKOOLINES and here we are.now the other posts on this in here were on earlier models but HD changed the coil shape in 2007 and it WONT fit in the horn cover so thats why i just used the stock coil cover as seen in the pics.if anyone has questions about this feel free to pm me and i will help out as much as possible

Stamped sheet metal, its there to give the illusion of a hardtail Frame & it is where your coil is located. It has no structural purpose other than holding the Coil.

I had to extend my coil wires about 6 inches I soldered and shrink sleeved them and put the factory covering on the exposed section

the horn was relocated to the front downtubes (see pic) and i had to solder wires to extend both the horn and the coil connections (see the DIY tips in this section on soldering) The seat post has No real value except to hold the coil in its original spot

The coil relocate looks good! That is one thing I like about the new Rocker..... Nice decision and look for the horn location too. I had one hell of a ugly horn on mine. Changed it out to a Springer horn this time around. Looks much better.
