alternative horn cover?

[Mike Sands]

Does anyone make a plainer horn cover so the front of the bike looks less like a startled owl?

Nope... not that I've seen. You have to craft your own cover.

Be easier to move the ruddy horn elsewhere - It's not much use anyway - let's face it.

The Owl is looking cross :smile:


I like that screen a lot, but would not have one made and shipped to me. It is unique can can only be worn by one. ;-)

XhdSkip made a different horn cover for his ride; looked like the bottom of a clothes iron; but it filled in the space quite nicely.

I once had my chromed Stebel mounted in the place of the OEM horn cover; it worked well but it was heavy; and I worried about it falling off and trashing the front fender:



I want to make a different horn cover as well; still looking for a large and appropriately shaped belt buckle theme. You can get large western type (and other belt buckles that can exceed 5x4" or more. I've got one inserted on the back of my pillion backrest:

Excuse me sir, should your proof of road fund licence not be on the other side? - fine bloody example.

yea, it was advertised as a harley horn cover,
but went nicely with the "Rocket" theme.
Here's a pic of the one I use to have on there.

Actually on the later ones they seem to be OK. I bought a supposedly louder one, fitted it and found it sounded wimpish. The standard one is fine. Bike was registered in late 09.
Yes it would be easy enough to move the horn elsewhere but there's other ugly stuff that the chrome thing conceals. A plain chrome of stanlesss plate that covered the gap and curved around the side of the fork legs would be much better. The R3T lools a bit like this under the headlight.

Hmmmm ... from startled owl to startled groucho Marx. Sorry XHDskip it doesn't work for me.
