I'm loving my Stebel horn. Just saw them for $70 or less on eBay today for a friend, including the relay. It really is a safety item, my horn will wake the dead.
If you want a hidden spot for it, I bet it will fit under the transmission - take off the rear fender splash guard (2 bolts) and there's some room in there and the tranny has threaded holes in it for the CA only charcoal canister (you may recall I installed a canister recently so it's fresh in my mind).
You could also fab a mount off the frame above the voltage regulator. I've got mine where your coil now is as you know.

Joe, did you take pics on that canister install? Be nice to see first hand what you're referring to. I know you must be right since you installed the horn and charcoal canister. It crossed your mind be a good place for that horn, if you think it's workable I'm going to order the horn.
Edit: Is this the one you installed?

Seat post? It's history, one of the things I mentioned was when removing it I found you need to add a couple of flat washers to make up the space left due to the top bolt bottoming out.

One thing to be careful of, that area has the back of the front final drive pulley and the belt spinning on the left side - anything you mount in there you want to mount securely because you don't want anything coming loose and getting into that belt.
I'd suggest you look at my thread, and order the bracket for the canister. I suspect you can attach the horn to the bracket using some big hose clamps. It's tight down in there, figure out the bolts you need for the bracket first. I just had some in my bench, I've got a bunch of spare bolts (I never throw them away).
You might also want to buy a black horn, just in case you can't get it to work down there, you can mount it on the frame above the voltage regulator and you might want black so it disappears.
The bracket part number is 27294-07, shown at item 6 on the picture I posted in my thread. List price $16.14.
