Thumbs up Kuryakyn WOLO HORN (mounted to swingarm) / DK Customs Coil Relocation

Welp, here are the final results... I am very happy. I may try to figure out a way to run the horn inside a swingarm bag like others have suggested (FLYING BURRITO, KOWAN). But for now, this will work just fine... love the horn, it is A LOT louder than the stock horn. Also, love the DK Customs Coil Relocation.... really cleaned up the bike.

All in all, to me the horn blends in with all the other chrome (lol) back there and doesn't stand out like a sore thumb. Although, I'm sure some may disagree.

Here are some progress photos (for the WOLO swingarm mounting... a big thanks to SPYDYR for his help!):










I removed the electrical tape... it wasn't needed.















I ran the wires up the back of the new bracket, through a hole in the belt guard, up the swing arm and into the area under the seat. I had to zip tie the wires in place, wasn't crazy about doing that but it did the job and it not noticeable unless you really look close.

What do you guys think?

Got some good news from last night. I rode about an hour in POURING down rain....I was drenched (didn't plan on it raining) and so was the bike. And absolutley no problems out of the bike from my coil relocation or issues with the horn. I was a little worried about the horn because the wires are exposed on the bottom where they plug into the horn and again, it was pouring (thank God for the new Windvest shield also!). But all it good...

Not bad looking at all. That horn wouldn't have looked as good mounted naked on the front down tubes.
DK's coil relocate is worth moving the horn to clean up that area too.

I can hear your mad doctor laughter, "What can I fab up next?"

HA!! True Story! I am already trying to think of the next project.

I am still debating on how to get the swingarm bag on there to hide the horn. I could also use the extra storage. I wonder if I could get by with the 3" bag instead of the 5" one (I had the 5" last time).

I went with the 3" to keep it from hanging as much as the 5" would have.
Since it was going to be on the bike 24/7, I didn't want a huge bag hanging there.
I used WARG's blog as a starting point, but went with a different mounting hardware setup.
I used either chrome or stainless hardware with chrome spacers to mount the bag to a diamond plate and the three guard mounts instead of just the two he used.

Scroll down. WARG still has the write up.

You know I like it. I actually thought I was gonna hate it being back there as in almost out of place. I said to myself well he is gonna unclutter the seatpost which is awesome but then he will really just be moving one pile to another pile.
No way!
It looks actually kind of cool and original at the same time. Only thing I would suggest is when you're at your local meet-up point when people look at it you should tell them to look closely, you know really get up all in there and WHAMMMMOOOO blast 'em with that ****.
