Just curious since I have not seen or done this before but where do you plan to relocate the horn? Is there any benefit to the coil relo or is it strictly for looks?

3. Do you have Discounts???
Thanks for your imputs, Mike
Hi Mike,

No orange wires. Red & Black are the only colors Screamin' Eagle has for this fitment.

We have looked at a few other cable MFG. for Harley Orange wires...nothing that meets our specs so far.

Sounds like you're waiting on the tank lift. When you do decide you want one the best way to know what size you want it to loosen the rear tank bolt, remove the front tank bolt, use a towel between the tank and the backbone and lift it up to different heights and stand back and take a look...you will see what height you like best, then measure it.

We are running a special right now thru Feb. 12 on the Softail Coil Relo kits...Check it out- Coil Relo Special HERE.

There is already a place for the horn, right between the downtubes in front of the front cylinder. That is where it is stock on the Rocker.

Benefit is a cleaner look AND better air flow for the rear cylinder that already runs hotter from being behind the front cylinder. With the coil and the fake seat post out of there, it is amazing how much better air flow it gets.

I have ABS on my 2011 so the module for it is between the front down tubes and I also have a crash bar. Is there still going to be room to mount the horn?

Thanks Bill. I remembered that after I posted and finally found it in our LO thread. I think I am going to do that. I found that hole the other day and it looks like the perfect spot.

Not to stray too far from the thread...from the 2012 H-D Sreamin Eagle catalog- Orange wires for an 00-Later Softail except FXCW and FXCWC are PN 32360-00B. Not sure if this length meets the requirement but if someone is dead set on Orange, buy two sets and cut the longer ones to fit.

Yes, there is room on the ABS bikes, even with the crash bar. The idea that beaselyiv posted is an interesting one also.

Yep, if you gotta have orange that is a way to do it. Expensive, and a bit of a pita. The boots on the SE wires can be really stubborn at times. But it is def doable.
