Take the cap off of a sport drink(the kind that opens when you pull on it) and install on qt of oil and you have a clean way of adding oil when you are on the road.

 

I kept loosing the seat screw and finally realized it was the base part(that was clipped on)that had gottin loose therefore causing screw to break loose...ect this might be worth lookin at.

 

Still not a "sticky" yet? Seems wierd when I keep seeing posts on DIY mods. Be nice to have one place for them and not have to search for it when you want a cheap mod. My 2 cents....... Not to mention the over 1300 views. I even recently recieved an e-mail on more info on some of my mods posted. Hope I helped bdjhog. I am a hands on guy who likes to save a buck, are you??

 

STICKY PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

 

Come On Terry! Can You Make This A Stickey? It Will Save Us All A Lot Of Time In Search Of...

 

Here's some pics of a diy air horn install. The horn portion fits under the stock cowbell. The compressor gets mounted in the cavity under the seat. Pretty easy and loud too. Cost me around $50. Start off buy getting one of these:
http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/productview/2137/ Stebel Compact Nautilus Air horns. They even come with a relay. These are the same horns that the Mini-Beast and HD Premium air horn's use. 139 db.

Go to the auto store and get enough rubber fuel line to connect the separated horn and compressor.
Also get a plastic nipple fitting to connect the fuel line to the horn section.
You'll need some heavy gauge wiring and a fuse too connect the compressor and relay to the battery

You can separate the compressor from the plastic horn section and cut off the curved mounting pieces that kept it connected to the compressor housing.Run stock horn wires under the tank and use them to fire the relay. ( This allows you to use the stock horn button.)

I ground off some of the plastic horns "flare" to keep it from "peeking" out from under the cowbell, the zip tied it under the cowbell from the backside.

lay down license plate for flht. Used a dremel to raise the holes in the bracket. Used a bench grinder to grind down the bolt heads until very thin and cut a screwdriver slot in them. Reinstalled and now I have a laydown license plate bracket for about 15 mins of work. No $$$$

 

This is the best cheap DIY mod I have done to my 07 Ultra. It is to put an alarm siren that works with the factory alarm.
Go to Radio Shack and purchase Part #273-079 less than $6.00.

My local Radio Shack did not have the part in stock, but allowed me to pay for it in the store and shipped it to my house free of charge. I had it 2 days after I ordered it.

Don't know why HD sells the alarm and siren seperate, but read the post about the "Radio Shack" siren so I thought it would be an easy inexpensive fix and it was.

here is the post that I read about it in posted by ROLLNTIGER.

Removed the right side saddle bag and cover and then removed the electronic control module, 2 hex head screws. Removed the plastic cover, two nuts. Cut the head off the factory wiring harness. The factory wiring harness has three wires black, brown, and green. The siren only has a black and red. Take two pieces of shrink tubing and place over the red and black wires from the siren. Wired the red from the siren to the brown from the wireing harness and the siren black to the bike green. The black I just tucked back into the wireing cover. Test your connections! Slide the shrink tubing back down and used the blow dryer on high setting to shrink the tubing. The siren is small enough that I used some 3M emblem tape and secured the siren where the wiring harness was located. Simple using "cutacroshorty" as my instuction manual.

I was surprised at how small the siren is and never thought it would be loud enough. For those that have the alarm but no siren this is a great mod.

I did not cut the head off the factory plug. I stuck the wires in the holes in the factory plug and taped it all together. When I pulled off my plastic cover the plug was being held in a clip on that cover. As far as the sound, the speaker itself is very loud (120db), but after it is taped inside the plastic cover and the side cover is put back on it is not as loud. It is still very noticeable, but just not blaring loud. Any other questions let me know. I don't know if it will work on the 06 models but it seems like I read where there is a difference between the 05 and the 07, not sure about 06.

Good luck and feel free to PM with questions.
