Most of that wiring is up high and inbetween the cylinders.
The tab for mounting the horn is still there, that will block some of it.

I'll post pictures when I get it relocated.

Horn is all relocated, that was easy. Lost the chrome cover of the Mini-Beast, painted the horn all black, and used an existing mounting hole(saddlebag ralls) to mount the horn behind the right saddlebag.

Now before I can call this job complete, I need to remove the rubber mount thingy for the horn that attaches to the top motor mount. I already destroyed it trying to remove it, so all that is left is the back metal plate that is threaded into the mount.

Any ideas on how to remove that part?

Need to remove that so I can put a HD skull medallion on that tab to "hide" it.

Air horn

Here's where I had mine mounted Steve. Its a mini air horn, loud as hell too. I mounted behind the rear cylinder, since I had 2 to 1 exhaust the pipe was not an issue.

I like where I put mine, complete hidden and still loud.

I'll take a couple of pictures later.

Kuryakyn air horn setup that mounts between the right saddlebag that I really like. Mainly because I want to mount a fan where the horn is normally located.

Kury setup is junk...............everyone who responded to my post about them earlier this year said they fall apart or quit working.

I was ready to buy them, but changed my mind quick after hearing that.

Not very easy if you have filler panels

I tried to do hidden install but have the filler panels between saddle bags and the fender.With them being on space is real tight to try and get horn to fit and not rub on something.I gave up after doing it a couple of diffrent times and was not happy with the way it was.Having wrist in cast didn't help any either lol.
