Default Did the wire tuck and coil relo.

Ok, Yeah I jumped on the bandwagon, but I honestly like the look. But I have a couple questions. See Pics. Where did you guys relocate your horn. If you check the pics thats my horn wire running across the front jug I really did not have as much wire as I thought. Also a little late to ask now, but has anyone had any problems with mounting the coil on the left side? Here is a quote from a builder " next ride, turn on data logging so you can tell if the ion sensor is tricked by that hot coil. you dont want ecm pulling timing and cooking the motor." All input appreciated.

Great look--some guys remove the horn entirely from the bike and just tie up the wires, electrical tape the leads, and tuck them under the tank also. Your call whether or not you need a horn on your bike. You can remove the horn and the mounting bracket which will open up the look. That's the first time I have ever heard anyone mention anything about the ion sensor with this mod, I know this has been done a lot and I've not heard anyone with that problem/reaction to moving it. Most guys find the motor runs a little cooler because of the increased air movement around the motor.

The mods look great....Before I relocated the horn I had enough elect cable length to run along the frame,it's only two wires just make an extension ,but because I lifted the headlight I had a space below the headlight so I put in a new hooter here.H
