Question Frame thickness
'14 Superlow

Anyone know the thickness of the round frame tubes under the engine? I'm looking to put a clamp around one side and relocate my horn under the engine but need to know the size. I'd check myself but my bike is parked at home.

You mean diameter! Measure the circumference at the point you want to fit the bracket, with a tape measure or piece of string, then divide by three. If in doubt tell us what you measured.
