Thanks

What horn do I use to replace the innards? I am using this as my primary horn, and yes, it does suck.

Just a small buell horn will work, take that baby apart, get some scrap, your favorite cocktail, and make it work. the alternative is you can bolt a real horn to the bottom of your tranny case. Exile sells a kit, but it's not hard to do. just find a bolt that fits the threads. if you don't live in cali, you could even bolt a horn to the side of the tranny case. you should see an empty thread hole there. just wire it up good cause you connections could get wet down there.

I used the existing stock swivel mounts used under the bars and just moved them.

I think the horn looks great on the Crossbones, but part of me hates to cover up the nice looking springer shock mechanism between the coils. If I ended up getting the horn, I won't wire it; I'll add it on for the nostalgic looks and continue to use the side mounted horn.

Hey Taino, I love your front end! Three questions if you don't mind:

1. Did you cut down your front end and lower it?
2. You installed the HD brand horn correct?
3. Where the hell did you find those chubby bars? Love 'em.

A lot of the "cheaper" eBay ones are fakes without the Harley logo on them. I got mine from Surdyke Harley (online) and cheaper than my local Stealer.

I PC'd mine and replaced the original cowbell for a different look.

[EDIT: Jeeze....I just looked at the dates on this thread....9 years old.....]
