Can't figure out where to mount this thing, other than the stock horn location, which I DON'T want to do. Up near the top of the down tubes?
I'm stumped. It's too big and ugly to leave out in the open. Suggestions? Ideas? Questions? Comments?

 

I have a Lenale fan, so I mounted mine like this...

 

I know I saw somebody on here that relocated their horn to the void space in front of the battery compartment. There's a metal plate there. I think mine just has the spark plug wires held to it. There are even holes already in it. Try searching the "What did you do to your bagger today" thread. I it in the over 300 pages there somewhere.

 

The Bad-Boy can be split into two parts,Connected by hoses, I stuffed the compressor horizontaly in front of the battery under wiring, But I wasnt happy with the sound. I had the horn part in the right side cover under the ABS modual with the horn (open) side facing foreward through the opening behind the dipstick. That was actually the second compressor. the first was in the left side cover. But it seemed like two compressors both putting out 10 PSI still sounded like one putting out 10 PSI. That was #2 and 3 of failed attempts at a louder horn that didnt look like a Trumpet mounted on the side of my motor. Finally setteled for a Rushmore Touring horn in a round cover.

First attempt with 1/4" copper tubing.



Secont attempt with second compressor and larger hoses.


Horn stuffed in under right sidecover.



What I have now, Was a wasted effort and an exercise in futility lol


There were a couple of other trial and error attempts also But you were asking about the BB
I'll also add that I switched to two 40 Amp relays to really run them compressors, But no improvement.

 

I went for function over looks and I'm lazy, so I put mine in the stock location.

 

Can you use these to place it on the front down tubes and make a bracket with a hole in the middle to hang the horn?

To me, logically the horn should be up front where you want the dB's. And being behind the forks/fender/triple tree, it would be relatively protected. I have my horns painted and they don't have a scratch on them from where I mounted them.

 

Wrong post

 

Same here

 

No problem with form and function..... horns up front, relay under cowbell
