So anyway the scoop is ready for bodywork and paint, but I want to include some mounting points for my horn(s). Is anyone running a dual setup or such.

Well that is different...
... and it's pretty cool!...
Those are some smooth contours. You do nice work.
Wish I had that kind of skill.

I suppose I'm a bit dense, or I missed something along the way, but what is the purpose of that little scoop? It looks cool as all get out but does it serve a function? Aerodynamics? Direct air up towards the engine for cooling? Hide blue LED lights for night-light shows?

What kinda tools do you have for cutting & shaping? Got a program to help with layout? If you just started in & used a torch & tape measure & hammers & welder & grinder, if you did that 20 hours you did allrite, It looks good.
It works a little like a mud flap, for bikes with no fender,

Functioning scoops or belly pans served to direct air flow over cooling surfaces and clean up the slipstream of of a bike. This one is more form than function, what can I say I love to fabricate and to the best of my knowledge there is nothing like this for a savage so it was a good challenge.

I dont have any programs, just voices in my head
Pretty much paper templates and hand tools.

There is plenty of room to mount an ugly horn in here, I'm researching relay setups to power one.

I got a dual horn wiring kit ( relays, connectors, etc.) from Eastern Beaver that I use on my Kawasaki, but I don't see it on their site anymore. If you're not an electricity moron like me, you can wire up two horns yourself. I used snail-shaped car horns and put one in the tail and one under the engine. They're very loud and get more attention than the typical beep-beep motorcycle horn.

The snail horn is exactly what I have, I found some relay kits for about 40 bucks. Did you use the stock horn button?

Yeah, the stock button just acts like a trigger circuit for the relay. The horns are wired directly to the battery.
