Coil relocation question
This may sound like a stupid question. Those of you who relocated the coil to the horn location I have two questions;
- Did you ever get a shock from the coil it being so close to your leg?
- Where did you mount your horn?

I did, however, relocate the coil to the location between the cylinders using a custom mount.
My horn is a Stebel Nautilus air horn that is mounted where the left-hand forward controls typically mount.
I'll put up a picture when I get home....

2. Deleted the horn, personally rarely have a use for it. Seems like most people who relocate the coil just delete the horn. I drive pretty defensively, have had maybe 2 times in the past 5 years where it would have been handy. That's just me, I'm sure the bulk of the users here would say to keep it.

I have never been shocked, as stated you likely have a crack in your coil housing or bad/frayed wires, give it a look.
I put a custom mini horn on the front frame down tubes

1. Nope, never. The outside body of the coil pack isn't charged, you'd have to touch a frayed load/spark wire to get shocked.
