Default Rocker-Inexpensive horn upgrade

I LOVE my Rocker C, but was not crazy about the huge (and heavy!) chrome horn hanging off the front. I removed the stock horn, went to the local auto parts store and found a very small black horn that I bolted to the metal tab with a hole that is under the shifter. The horn wires were perfect length to run down to the new location. It sounds the same to me, is tucked in real nice and nobody has noticed it's even there. Cost me 6 bucks plus tax for the Gov.
Ya, Ya I know, I'll take some pictures and post them asap. Might get a hair more air direct on the front cylinder also.

I replaced that light weight horn with a WoLo Badboy air horn.

It's hiding under a MetalArts flame cover.

I put mine under the transmission, so the front is completely clean.

I knew someone was going to ask that! Will do. Just need to find a few minutes in between my to-do list...The wife is a teacher and is home for the summer......to-do cutting into my riding only a little but too much for my liking. It's nice down under the shifter since the mounting point is already there and it is literally unnoticeable down there. Ride safe.

It was more the looks and original position of it that got me too remove the original. I know that the weight of it is not going to make a diff. to speak of, but I was surprised how heavy it was when I took it off. Same with more free air on the front cylinder, should not make much of a diff., but every little bit helps. Another advantage, when the wife says how much did THAT upgrade cost you can HONESTLY say...6 bucks! LOL
