That Mickey mouse horn just had to go!
After failing to get the Risers installed on my Rocket, since I already had the "pull back" handlebars on my Classic (and the cables turned out to be too short with the new Rivco risers) I decided to tackle the second project for my new Rocket.
I had a Stebel horn mounted on my VTX; it is the deluxe one that has a nice cover of chrome in the front (and frikken pricey too $149.00). I wanted to mount this horn on front of the lower triple tree of the Rocket, but knew that I had to do a little "Yankee Engineering" to make it work.
I ended up removing both the chrome cover in front of the OEM horn, and the OEM horn itself. I bent the horn mounting bracket in such a way that it would hold the Stebel in the correct position; used some star washer to help the grip of the nuts/bolts since the Stebel is heavy; and wired in a relay and tucked everything (wires) under the tank.
Below are some pic's of the finished project. I feel a lot better now having a horn that will "sound off" with a lot more decibels (139db) than the OEM (102db)
Kindest regards,
