Just changed the cover on mine.






But put this horn under the cover. http://www.aerostich.com/fiamm-freew...ster-horn.html Sounds about like the old 50's early 60 cars did so it does get attention.

Add mine to the list, no cooling problems. However, after seeing the under oil bag mount, I'll be stealing that idea.

Mine is inside the headlight bucket right now, but I have the "freight train" nacelle. I have seen a couple bikes that had them on the crossbar between the down tubes and mounted in the rear by the splash pan. One of the coolest ones I saw (on this forum) was a guy who mounted his stock horn under the fuel tank with a simple "L" bracket. That one only works with a carburetor apparently. The EFI doesn't allow the same amount of room.

Try installing an air horn. I got one from Badboy and it sounds like a semi. Saved me a few times from cages coming into my lane.
