If you dont put the horn in soon , other parts will block the area the horn must go.
Told to me personally by an old graybeard at a clubman show,
"first part to assemble on a Commando rebuild, is the horn"

Your relayed direct to battery powerfull horn blaster unit should be pointed towards the potential emergency situation. As stock crapola unit it is pointed at the ground at the rearward section of the bike. Im sure you will think about this with such a beautifull build. 
I've always liked the look of putting the horn in the crook right behind the z-plate. You're going to have to switch the exhaust mounting plates :wink:
This is definitely going to be one of the best mouth-water'ers in a long time. Not the least because you take good shots.

Fabulous build.

Not much done after the holidays. Just general shop cleanup and I did fix the exhaust brackets and mounted the voltage regulator. The D.T. head steady has some tooling mark I need to clean up. Hummm.
Voltage Reg.

It looks like you need a VERY thin spanner to get in there.

I thought of that but I was concerned it might distort the bracket when torque applied. *I used some flat bar cut to size and blue tape. took 5 min to make, worked fine.[/quote]
I haven't started the rebuild on my Commado yet.....but out of curiosity, what size is the hex on the nut/bolt head that we're talking about? I could fabricate a wrench from some flat stock, while waiting for Spring, as my Commando is in winter storge taking a long nap and is difficult to get to.
Thanks,
Ray
