Haven't contributed anything lately so here we go.
Read a thread here some time ago about the headlight/ignition switch issue so I ordered the kit from eastern beaver and while I was at it I got the harness for the horn since I had switched over to fiamm air horns over a year ago and toasted my horn button. Well the box of harness was sitting unopened for the last 3 months and I finally got around to the install last Monday. It went so well that after making sure the lights and horns worked (with a new beefier compressor)I figured I might as well take care of a few more back burner projects that I had been putting off. The bear claw was still laying on the floor so I removed the coolant expansion tank and moved it to where the air filter USED to be before the k&n's were added. Now I had room to experiment with re-locating the horn compressor under the bear claw. After an hour and a bracket that spanned the two bolt holes that were previously used by the expansion tank I had a suitable mock up. Tried it with the b/c and after a few minor adjustments I was happy. LOUD HORNS and BRIGHTER LIGHTS.
The only thing left was a good cleaning and re-oiling of the k&n's. It is now officially spring.
