There is an EVO trumpet horn (right side) that I fit on a Softail. Took a little work but it fit. The hardest part was working the hosw theough the jugs. I'm planning on ordering one an thy it out.
I'm still searching for that 'perfect' nostalgic horn and I don't ever recall there being much of a discussion about them on this thread. Howards look good but you need to move and keep the stock cowbell for the compressor, Metalarts was a possibility but I'm not sure if they are still around, BJ's aren't, IMO, very nice looking, IMO and the Stebels and HD's dont' work for me and the Kury mounted behind the saddlebags defeats the whole purpose of having a trumpet horn. What has everyone else found in their endless search for the nostalgic horn? What about brass?

Lot of nice scoots posted, I'm makin changes too this spring, to my '01, wide whites, round air cleaner. I did the bugle horn on my wifes Deluxe plus the Bubble Bags. The Softails are easier to go back in time with, I would like the Pan Kit for hers but can't see 800 for what you get.

I've been trying to go "retro" with my 2004 RK Custom since I bought it new. Lots of changes, most of them being chrome to black powdercoat. My newest addition was last weekend, a set of black powdercoat wheels with whitewalls that I really think set off the bike. Just about the only chrome left is the motor, a bezel and a few nuts and bolts. I'll get to them sooner or later...

Those are some nice bikes. People always say mine looks really old school. I like the 50's old school bad **** look myself. I am tempted to switch out my seat to a single with the chrome rails, but I always decide not too cause I don't want to look grampaish. Not that ther's anything wrong with that, but I'm only 41.
