Dang! That’s a good idea.

I have the older custom dynamics mini beast. That covers a lot of the left side of the motor. I never did like that.

The New Pro Beast is smaller.

For GOD's sake, loosen the nut and hang it straight. LMAO

That's why I chose the round cover.

Although it has a Willie G skull on it, so it can still look crooked if I don't pay attention when I tighten it on the bracket.

And while I'm all for making a bike "yours", that particular horn cover is not appealing to me in the slightest... as said above, it looks like a footboard and it is too large, IMO.

part of it is the angle that i am taking the photo at, the other part is that the horn is not supposed to hang straight. if you notice that the line between the cylinders is not perfectly vertical.

Just because centerline of the cylinders isn't vertical doesn't mean the horn is supposed to be aligned to match that angle...
Maybe angling it back like that makes it more aerodynamic, maybe that allows the folks behind you to hear the horn better, or maybe it just makes people say "align that horn cover"...

jesus christ guys. the horn is not as angled as it appears in that pic, it's mostly just from the angle that i took the pic at. if you go look at your bike and horn, you'll see that yours is angled toward the rear slightly from the factory.

this is straight off the hd webpage. the horn follows the line between the cylinders.... can't believe y'all never noticed.

I hear ya but winters setting in, and as much ADD as there is in the Forum, we need to find a fix. I think a 1" lowering kit on the back tire and a 1" lift on the front will solve the problem.

Gonna be a long winter
