Can't be mad atcha for the "happy boys". :2vrolijk_21:Not in the habit of promoting OEM parts but upgraded my horn to this - Loud Side-Mount Horn Kit 69060-90H and been real happy with it... if indeed it is the horn that needs to be replaced.

The old horn on the Road Glide got all squeaky and wet fart sounding after getting caught in a downpour a few months ago.  It was 15 years old so couldn't complain.  It lasted far longer than most of them used to.  When I hit the parts counter the guy there sold me that H variant horn part number. 

It was a LOT louder than the old stock horns.  Didn't realize it wasn't just the latest revision parts number but was instead being pitched as an "upgrade."  Good info.  If it's dead on the Road King that is what I'll grab  .

Didn't need a new horn.  Just a new wire terminal on the negative side.  Original just broke right at the end of the wire.  Plenty of wire to fix it without even having to take the horn cover off to get at it.  So the girl made it easy to make her go "toot toot."  Wait, that didn't sound right....

Looks great Don.

Looks great Don.

Thanks Jon.  As much as I love the look even better is that it feels great too.  It was not a long riding saddle before.  Half a day and my ass was done.  Now it's a comfortable all day saddle so the bike is even better.  It handles great and was a great ride before.  Now can enjoy it even better and longer.

[The Mysterious Q!]

That's a must when putting seat time in. You can handle temperature and climates but without a comfortable saddle beneath you, you won't be happy.

Just when you think a bike is "done."


After the Eureka Springs GTG back in the spring I decided the Road King needed a tour pak.  Found an aftermarket "chopped" size pak that I liked the looks of in its ad.  Had a neat looking lid.  When it got here, however, I didn't like the lines of the chopped pack on the bike.  Any chopped pak; not just the one I'd bought.  Just needed to be lower.

Landing fixation almost kicked in and made me paint what I had just because I had it.  Fortunately I didn't.  Someone else had a use for the pack and I just got a razor sized pak to try instead.  I'm liking this a lot better.

Box arrived this afternoon.  Mounted the hardware on it for a test mounting and drilled holes in the bottom once I'd decided where I best liked the front to back alignment.  I'm liking these lines a lot better on the bike.

It's slim enough even think now doing the paint as a single color is all that'll be necessary.  Any flamed graphics to further match the bike will look cramped.  So just a solid color of the dark red to match the bike.

Does its ass look fat (phat) with a tour pak?

[Twolanerider]

Chose the oldest of the detachable rack styles because I've got a spare set of the leather filler panels that were only used on the 2000 and 2001 SERGs that fills the hole marked in yellow here.  Will dye the original leather in a dark red for now and see if I like that well enough.  The more likely long term option will be to catch that Master Lugos seat magician at Bike Blues and BBQ again this fall and get him to recover the side panels in the material to match the seat.

[Twolanerider]

Forgot I had this.  Will do with the rack for this pack what got done with the filler panels for the rack on the Road Glide when I had the panels redone to match its saddle.

Well now we know who to call on to deliver pizza at a GTG!  I like it Don!

Thanks Pete.  Once it's painted I'm gonna like it a lot.  The lines are good.  And, just for research's sake, in mock up form last night I did make sure a large Domino's fits inside just fine  .

As far as I know, Don only delivers tacos.  So, that's not a tour pak, that's a taco pak.

Ok, might have deserved that.... 

That nickname is going to stick too.  The old Road King now has a Taco Pak  .

I'll take a couple of soft shells.  Looks good Don.
