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????
i put my horn above the shocks, there's some exitisting threaded holes there...a bad pic but might give you an idea....

had to extend the wires for the coil and the horn

That's a good idea. I'll look at that, but that may be where the air ride will mount, not sure. Not that I have an air ride, but you never know what the fat guy in the red suit has up his sleeve this year, lol.
