  • Patent number: 9415822
    Abstract: A protective and decorative shell that securely fits onto and covers motorcycle horn covers is disclosed and claimed. The shell of the present invention can be manufactured using thermoplastic or thermo-softening plastic, allowing for molding and pliability above specific temperatures, resulting in a resistant shell upon cooling. The device of the invention can be fabricated in a variety of shapes and thicknesses, thus allowing control of the resulting weight. Another advantage of the chosen materials is the ability to paint, print, etch or cut numerous designs, logos or other decorative symbols on the exposed shell. The shell is shaped to match the shape of a prior art motorcycle horn cover and snaps or screws into place over the horn cover. The shell has an opening that matches the placement of the opening on the horn cover so that the horn's sound is not muffled.
