    81' 430XC street-legal motard conversion in progress.

    Photo 1: Parts. Yamaha horn for an XT225. Loud and obnoxious - I know from personal experience. Wife has one on her bike and I used one on a prior project. My state inspection guy is going to be satisfied. Generic/universal brake light switch from Parts Unlimited. Stock spring was replaced w/ a shorter one and rubber sleeved. (See photos 3 & 4). 3/4" X 1/8" aluminum stock for brackets.

    Photo 2: Mounting brackets made up. Both will be powdered - horn black and brake light switch frame silver.

    Photos 3 & 4: Brake light switch mounted up. Will be wired up post frame powdering. Cheap. Simple. Boot clearance. Out of the way.

    Photo 5: Horn mounted on the top triple clamp behind the number plate/headlight. Again, wiring post powder.

    You people who notice stuff like that in photos are scary.

    Are those Husky Products pegs? What brand is the sprocket? I like the gold.

    Leftcoast - gotcha - preliminary mockup.

    Picklito - pegs are from Phillip in Arizona. Advertised/sold as a reproduction of the "Husky Products" peg. Their construction surpasses the stockers by leaps and bounds. Very beefy. Will have a thread on them once I address some other peg related issues.

    Counter sprocket is something I had in an old old old stash of Husky parts. Origin unknown.
