Horn Cover
What do you guys think about an ember red sunglow horn cover on my SG? I'm killing myself trying to find something different for my horn cover and my other covers (like air cleaner). But horn cover is on my radar right now....red or maybe a chrome one with red highlights of some sort. Any ideas....anyone seen this before?

It really comes down to what appeals to your eye- some guys spray black or plastidip to high light the motor.
in either case, you don't see it from the rider's seat.
the horn wasn't mounted at that location until 1955- some Guys looking for a more vintage look relocate it elsewhere...possibly more air flow too

personally i would not change it. it isnt a focal point like it is just kinda fits in with the motor, i have not saw any "custom" ones that have looked good. they all stand out way too much. but to each their own

Buy an Arlen Ness round horn cover.
Then your timing cover will fit in your horn cover.
Then you can have all of your covers be a matching set.
How's that sound?
IMO, it looks much more classy to have all your covers matching.
Stock cow bell is just a cowbell
A red one is a red stock cow bell.
It's still a cowbell, anyway you cut it.
