Yep, that's the horn. Took the stock bracket, bent it in a Z shape and used a tapped hole in the swingarm (old chain guard hole) to bolt it down. It looks much better than the damn thin hanging out in the wind off the front of the bike.

You need one of those specialty horns on it, that would be really cool!

Well it looks like I may have to go hardtail afterall. I won a free chain tensioner from monstercraftsman.com and I can't let this $100 part that I got for free just sit and collect dust.






On a side note, I got the brakes finished on the maxim. Upgraded the old 1985 master cylinder to one from a CBR954. I only got to ride it to the gas station and then had some battery issues, but they feel 100 times better than with the old brakes.

Sweet looking machine, but not sure I like the EGR setup with that exhaust dumping out an inch from the intakes.

It would look better with something other than those comstar 5 spokes though. I like the engine as a stressed member. Pretty cool.
