So.... ever since I relocated my coil to where the horn goes in my Fatboy, I've never been comfortable of where I put the horn. I basically put the cowbell under the triple-T in the A-frame. So, I wasn't happy with it.

I searched through the threads for ideas and found a few folks put it behind the rear cover, and a few folks who put it inside the nacelle. I decided to go with inside the nacelle.

I already had the wire long enough to fit inside, so I basically took it out of the cowbell and threw it in there. Of course, much to my non-surprise, I needed to tune it again. There's an adjustment screw on the back covered by a dab of silicone, and if you have horn tooting problems you'll rip that silicone off & start twisting. So I tuned it, threw it in the nacelle and took it for a test ride.

My test ride was to do 2 things: See how the shock adjustment I did made a difference, and to test the horn. Shocks was a success, horn was a fail. Rattled like a baby's rattle.

So, I tried to cram some foam inside the nacelle, and of course I had to tune the horn AGAIN! Didn't work. Kept vibrating loose. So, I decided the last ditch effort to keeping a horn was to make a mount. The back left piece of the nacelle includes a capped hole where a heritage would have it's highway light switch. So, having a glorious Fatboy made that hole lonely. I happened to have some scrap thin metal and made a mount. SUCCESS!! Pics of this included. Tuned the horn a final time and I can finally quit messing with this DA&N horn.

Hope this helps the next guy have a few less troubles than I did.

 

The stock horn is awfully large and unfortunately looks silly out in front of the frame. Way to be creative on the mounting.

 

I relocated mine to a cardboard box in the back of the shop.

 

Does it still make noise if no ones is around? Kind of like the whole tree falling in the forest thing.

 

I don't know. Can't hear it over the exhaust!!

 

Since I never use it mine is in the same place

 

That is some funny sh*t. I relocated mine to a box also.

 

i bought a rocker C horn and put in on the A frame. after getting sick of tinkering with the darn tuning screw i left it sounding like a little girl whyning about she doesnt have enough shoes...
