The cowbell is one of HD's trademarks. I left mine on when I replaced the stock horn by 2 horns behind the saddlebags.

Dude, it's only a horn cover, not some icon of transportation history. Only pics I have of mine are two crappy cell phone shots as I was really taking pics of other things to show acquaintences.

Thanks and yes it is a cowbell that's just been painted. I need to black out the mounting bracket it behind it still. I got it off ebay but darn if i can remember the site now.

I had a theme going on that side of my bike:
I drilled a couple of holes and grabbed the emblem from my Dress Blue cover. I am thinking of finding a brass bezel to put behind it.

iffen/when I ever decide to do a swap...
it'll be the original cowbell cover painted with the "Eye in The Triangle"
logo that was on Jim Bronson's 1969 XLH 900cc Sportster in 'Then Came Bronson'

Been contemplating swapping out the original HD 'cowbell' horn cover with an aftermarket horn cover but then I'm thinking...naw, that would be like changing the 'M' logo for McDonald's, after all the nice original HD chrome 'cowbell' cover is like the logo for the Twin V's and it tells all that, Yes ... it's a Harley !

Just ordered a new cover from badass. It has a HD skull in the middle of it, so no logo trashing!!!!
