What did you do to your Dyna today?

Just finished my first auto tune session today. They of course don't make a map for firebrands so I just used the base map for V&H short shots. It ran fine with the base map but just trying to dial it in. But holy sweet baby jesus these pipes are ****ing loud as hell. Nice low rumble but getting on the throttle is deafening. Gonna have to wear ear plugs while riding or find some sort of baffle insert that will work with these pipes.

I like those old cowbells But the plasti-dip is a good idea if you want to cut down on the chrome look. One way you could clean up the look of the cowbell and plug wires a bit more is to re-route the front cylinder plug wire. I used 10mm wires and sleeved the plug wire to run it behind the horn bracket with 3/8" hose to protect the plug wire instead of running it over the top of the bracket. Routed that way you can also have the front cylinder plug end at a right angle to the head, just like the rear is.
Best image I've got at 4:35 AM, but you can see how the front is run now, looks much cleaner to me. If you need a better image I'll grab you one later today...

I like the coil relocation where it moves to the spot where the horn is. That's ultimately what I'd like to do. Either a DIY project or buying a kit from somewhere like DK Customs. But for now this'll work. I did run it behind the bell bracket at first but I was worried about it rubbing up against the engine. The 3/8" hose is a good idea.

My issue with the cowbell is that I've got this big beautiful HD V-Twin engine and the cowbell is covering it up. It's not that it's chrome and I'm not looking to go the blacked-out route. (Not knocking the blacked-out look. Some badass bikes out there like that. Just not what I want.) It's more the placement and blocking the look of the engine. Be cool to see more of the V on that side.

So here's a noob question, but that t bracket that the horn is connected to and that connects to each side of the V and connects under the tank to the air filter - is that only there for the horn? Or is it serving additional support purpose?

I do get what you're saying about wanting more of the engine visible; they are beautiful indeed

cggorman, I was just reading through your build thread to see how you relocated the horn and coils, and I realized we aren't even on the same planet in regards to modifying our bikes. My man, you are literally designing and fabricating your own modifications. Incredible.
