Said it b4 and will say it again "what is it with you USA guys and your bloody horns? more noise more man hood?
I hated that stupid thing hanging over my engine.
I went on e-bay bought a 12v horn from china for about $3 stuck it behind the seat under rear fender sounds like a Leprechaun fart but who cares?

The horn is from a 2004 Sportster, sound is O.K., but main reason of relocating was for having a cleaner look of the bike.

Just curious if anyone has relocated their coil to the horn location with the outputs pointed vertical and then adapted an aftermarket horn cover to hide the coil?
The reason I ask is that it seems like there is a much larger selection of horn covers than coil covers.

Very nice. Did you locate the compressor above the voltage regulator? Little hard to tell from the picture.

When you relocated the coil, did you buy a relo kit (i.e. DK Custom) or did you fabricate something yourself?
What type of ends did you use on the plug wires (i.e. straight on the coil end and 90° on the plug end)?
Did you consider locating the coil so the wires came out the top instead of the bottom (not sure which I like best)?
Did your bike have the fake seat post and if so did you remove it when you relocated the coil?
Thanks.

That's pretty much the look I'm after. I have a few questions:
When you relocated the coil, did you buy a relo kit (i.e. DK Custom) or did you fabricate something yourself?
What type of ends did you use on the plug wires (i.e. straight on the coil end and 90° on the plug end)?
Did you consider locating the coil so the wires came out the top instead of the bottom (not sure which I like best)?
Did your bike have the fake seat post and if so did you remove it when you relocated the coil?
Thanks.

2. Not straight 45 degree & 90 degree into the coil
3. Nope
4. Left it there, it holds my reg. label
