Default My Rocker Grenade Cover

+
This is my attempt at covering the grenade. I took the horn cover off my sons Electra and modified it to fit as a grenade cover. Now that i know what to do i will get a after market horn cover and modify it for a custom cover. As far as the ignition goes i took the motor mount off welded a small tab, drilled a hole in it for the ignition switch and bolted the ignition switch through the hole in the tab with the stock nuts,no need to cut the wires. This coming winter i will get the motor mount chromed for a better look. If any questions just ask. Sorry if the pictures are to big.

Thank you and yes it was done by someone else with a zombie horn cover i believe.
I always thought the grenade was just a cover not the complete coil, kind of made me scratch my head a minute.

Nice job Mark, I think the new position of the ignition will also prevent the key from falling down.

Have you ridden it with this mod yet? Just looking at the pics I can imagine the key fob slapping the tank at high speeds since it's so close.

I have the fob on a separate key ring. HD recommends not leaving the fob attached with the key in your owners manual.

See now you make the mistake on assuming I actually read the owners manual...or any manual. :-P

LoL, I rode mine home with the fob attached to the key ring.
Once home I started reading the owner's manual and saw the error of my ways.
