Does anyone know for sure if the 1300 or 1800 VTXs have the same space below the front of the swing arm that our Valkyries have?  I'm thinking of making a kit to mount horns under the Valk, similar idea to BigBF's quad horn kit but with different horns, and I'm wondering if the idea could also be used on VTXs.

I've changed oil and tires on VTX's. Their oil filter is on the rear of the engine under the swingarm. I think adding horns there would hinder a filter change.

Is this to install your Cadillac horns?

Sssssshhhhhh!  Mine are already mounted, but there might be a way to make it appeal to other Valk owners if it's already pre-engineered.

Not only is the oil filter there, on the earlier models the coolant reservoir is there as well.
