Default Horn ****

I was at the dealer today picking up some Christmas presents for my XBones and in the sales parts bin was a cool looking black HD cow bell horn with this freaky little skull wearing shades and a bandana and thought that might be a cool addition to my Bones especially since I got the little Jolly Roger dude on the oil tank. If the damn thing wasnt $200 I might have picked it up!!

So that got me thinking of all the cool things folks have done to their horns to customize their rides......so how about you creative folks post some pics of how you have prettied up your horns so the rest of us can be inspired to creat our own horn ****!!!

Let the posting begin:-)

There's a few versions of the skull horns. They were made in 2005 and pop up on eBay once in awhile.
Skull with eyepatch
skull with orange bandana and shades
skull with blue bandana and shades
skull with rose in it's mouth.

Trumpets always get compliments, when I set them off they scare the crap out of people too.

These are Metal Arts longs.

I took an air wing horn cover, Powdercoated it black and put a gas cap medallion on it.

Curse you WARG! I never even thought about relocating my coil until you did this. Your set up just makes so much sense that you can't ignore it.

That horn is beautiful and suites that bike perfectly - even reflects the lines in the tank emblam - very cool.
