I like it! I'm doing this this winter. I think I'm going to attempt to put it under the splash guard like COLMAN.

Very cool. Looks like it is almost floating there. Much better then the other ways. WELL DONE! Looks like you started something.

Few questions though?
(1)Where did you put the horn?
(2)Did you just move the coil wires or did you need to lengthen them?
(3) What is the reason for the seat post in the first place????

Looks nice, good job.
Any pics? I have air horns so I can't move it under the horn cover... that's where my compressor sits for the twin horns.

Do they sell a bracket or is this the way everyone is doing it and fabbing your own?
Hey mark, I did fab my own. The biggest challenge is finding the best fit in the horn cover. Oh, and my soldering skills suck, lol.

The horn is on my work bench. Will probably put it behind the splash guard.

I extended the wires about 12".

I think the seat post is just to hold the coil. It's just stamped metal.
