Default Nothing to do while raining, so

I thought I'd play with some horns. (car horns) The oem horn sucks by it self, so I ordered the high and low range from Amazon. Fiamm #72112 and #72102 along with a relay #RLS125 12 V. Now trying to figure a place to put them, and come up with this. Since I had moved the TP up for a back rest and made a support to hold the front of the TP. That would be my starting point. I had some old fog light left over from an old truck with a SS bracket and it worked perfect. Oh, I also use a cop seat, so plenty of room under the seat. This is how they turned out. I will remove them later when it not so humid and paint them black, and they will disappear.

Car horns can work well. When I put a lenale fan on my 07 I did not like the horn relocate. So I mounted tow car horns one left side one right.
I had the air deflectors that go from engine guard to tank mount . simple drilled one small hole ran wires done and out of sight.
Worked so well did the same on th11 and 13.

I had replaced my OE with a low note and put the high note under my seat.

That's exactly what I did too. The Fiamm fits fine under the stock horn cover and the flat metal between the engine and battery compartment has some holes in it that are perfect for a bolt to mount the other one.

Hey, how do you like the chorus of the three horns together?
I like the heck out of mine!
