Clutch activates the horn.
So my buddy and I were working on his 07 Wide Glide last night. We are installing airhorns on the bike. After several hours of work, we were ready to test the new horn. He mashed the button several times and no horn sounded. We finally went to roll the bike forward and as he pressed the clutch, the horn activated. It's one of the funniest things we have ever seen but have no idea how the clutch is activating the horn.

Reminds me of an old episode of Top Gear where they re-wired the air horn of Richard Hammond's Mustang. Every time he stepped on the brake pedal the horn would play "La Cucuracha".

This might be a good thing ...
Say you need to make a sudden action to evade another motorist. Maybe you would: 1.Pull in the Clutch - 2.Apply the Brakes - 3.Sound the Horn
Well, now it's only 2 steps ... Well done
