Default New Free/ cheap mods

Well I just finished a few free mods. I just put a rubber mount antenna under the fairing and put the horn up under there as well. I also moved the trip reset button to the front and top of the gauges. I also ended up removing the tank and cutting off the horn mount from the engine mount.

Ummm, if you moved the horn under the fairing, wouldnt that make it useless? I dont think it would be loud enough to be heard now. Also since you moved the trip button, isnt there a hole in your dash now?

I didn't find my trip reset button on my 2002 for at least a couple of weeks. That button is so far out of the way down the right speedo tach cover, no one will notice the hole. I have been meaning to move mine to where they put it on the later models as well.

I was just looking to get a cleaner/sleeker look. As far as the horn level goes, wellI do need to adjust it some to get it in a better location and get the most out of it but the level is pretty much unaffected. The hole like stated is not visible the older Glides have the reset up and behind the gauges so i moved mine to the top and center above the gauges, only takes about 5 mins. If you are looking to move them to the switch housing dash board you are going to need to get the wires extended or maybe just rerouted but it will not reach that location as far asI can remeber. Here is a look at the side without the horn stuck in the way.

Nope that ther is rust on the rear most head bolt. most twin cams do it to that bolt and for some reason the sportster has it as well but it is on the frront most headbolt. For the life of me i can't figure out why that one and only bolt in that spot on them does that?
