So, I've always thought the new 2022+ MT-10 needed something more up front to fill in the space between the front fender and the headlights. Pyramid offers a frontal wing/spoiler, but the cost was over $100 with shipping because they're in the UK and I'm in the US. I didn't want to spend that much for a small plastic spoiler. After looking around, I found a replica of the Pyramid wing on Ali Express. I paid $49 shipped, and it arrived on my doorstep in less than a week from China. It included the same black powder coated mounting bracket, black plastic wing, and black allen screws with lock nuts. Very nice quality and super easy to install. All I had to do was loosen two screws, install the mounting bracket under them, and retighten them. It took about five minutes and it fit perfectly. Here's a link for anyone interested. The price has increased by a couple dollars, but it's still half the price of the one offered by Pyramid. www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806721067407.html?spm=a2g0n.order_detail.order_detail_item.4.451df19cQLUst5&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa![](https://i.ibb.co/P6JwyRy/20240723-124329.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/RQ9NTpS/20240723-130349.jpg)

Adds a nice subtle touch to the front without distracting from the overall look.

Like on the previous model 👍 Exactly! Just need to relocate that ugly horn next so it looks a bit cleaner up front. ![](https://i.ibb.co/G53NMw2/Screenshot-20240725-131224-Gallery.jpg)

You should be able to bend that bracket upward to mask it from the front a bit.

I couldn't come up with a better/easier spot unfortunately.

I couldn't come up with a better/easier spot unfortunately. I may be able to relocate it to the inside of one of the ram air ducts like the guys with the previous generation MT-10's did with their horns. The ducts are already filled with other things from the factory, so I'm not really worried about blocking the "ram air" effect by sticking it in there.

No ram air effect. Just electrical stuff. Horn needs to hang untouched and unrestricted.

No ram air effect. Just electrical stuff. Horn needs to hang untouched and unrestricted. Yeah, I just pulled the right side outer air duct cover off and relocated the horn inside it. Took about 25 minutes total and there's no drilling, cutting, splicing needed. I reused the horn, one of the three original silver mounting plates/shims, and the nut and black washer to attach the horn to the mounting plate. There's some kind of electrical component/relay in the duct, but if you remove it from its bracket, it will fit neatly just rear ward of its original location (as if it was designed to go there). Then just unscrew the air duct mounting screw, install the horn with its single bracket, and reinstall the screw. Everything fits perfectly with no bending, forcing, etc. I routed the horn wiring into the duct through the same location as the factory turn signal wiring, as there's plenty of room for both. The air duct cover snapped right back into place without any interference and the horn sounds ever so slightly muffled compared to how it sounded in its original location, but nothing that you would notice unless you already knew the difference. For the absolute cleanest job possible, the main horn mounting bracket that bolts to the underside of the lower fork clamp should be removed and modified, as it not only provides for the horn mounting, but it also serves as an attachment point for the front brake hose clamp. You can remove it and the hose will stay in place on its own, but if you're looking closely, you can see that the clamp used to bolt to something. I'd prefer to modify the main horn mounting bracket so that it can still serve the now single purpose of allowing the brake hose clamp to attach in its original location. Here's a couple pictures of how the horn is now mounted, the parts no longer needed, and the end result from the front of the bike. ![](https://i.ibb.co/ZKHh9dh/20240729-164015.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/3zTNGyZ/20240729-165508.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/41XQDKh/20240729-165118.jpg)

After looking at it some more, I may not even remove and modify the main horn mounting bracket. It's pretty small and being black, it kind of blends in with the Evotech radiator guard behind it. Without modding it, I can always easily return the horn back to the factory location if needed.
