Then checked into the problem of the very low horn. The odd thing is that it was low when you honked it from the button. But if you hooked it up directly to the battery it sounded fine.
Figured that somehow it wasn't getting the full 6V while on the bike, but tested the circuit and indeed the voltage was just fine. So how could it betting getting full volts while on the bike but sounding very low, and then full volts directly to the battery but sounding fine?
Made no sense. Finally just swapped Ivy's horn over as a test and it worked fine! So just something a bit off with the aftermarket horn... Have a new one on order anyway, so I'll just leave Ivy's on Red for now.
Speedo gear install was pretty straight-forward. Used the new Husky ratcheting wrenches to good effect to remove the fender. Almost made that job a pleasure versus doing it the old way.
Applied liberal amounts of moly-b to the gears.
Took it for a spin later that afternoon and it's working!
But based on that and a few subsequent rides, it looks like the ratio is going to be a bit off. What the odometer displays is less than actual. To get actual, multiply the displayed mileage by a factor of 1.4.
