I'm not sure that's not what my horn looks like. My voltage regulator is down in that area.

Just the cover part, I've seen some custom covers on different biker builds, but always wondered what they referred to the cover as?

Yeah, if it is an oil cooler, probably just some cover to protect it from road debris.. Not sure what the correct name would be. We can go with "Oil-cooler-protector-thingy-majig"
