Default Horn relocation - Wide

I'm thinking of some fin dress-up and adding the HD finned headbolt bridges. The stock horn is gonna interfere with the view, as it already does my DYNA script shift linkage (when viewed on its side-stand).

I'd like to know a good place to relocate the stock horn; either hidden from view, or moved to somewhere it looks like it still "belongs". Pictures?

I didn't move it but I did change it. I hated the cowbell.

Search horn relocation for WS6s method. I relocated my horn using his method and it's completely out of view. It is a pretty easy mod and it looks great. I don't have photos here at work.

I dont have any photos here at work but I relocated mine so that it is completely out of view.

First I purchased a typical black round auto horn that can be found almost anywhere for about $20. Then I mounted this to a bolt hole that I found on the front of the battery box (engine side). If you remove the battery cover and look in behind the engine you should see the empty bolt hole.

One of the existing bolts even fit perfectly into the hole with a few washers as a standoff.

Then it was just a simple matter of extending the wires to the new horn.

Let me know if you want some pictures and I will try to get some for you when I get home.

Cheers
David

On my '97 Wide...moved the new Ebay horn underneath the seat. Attached to the ground on the Left side of the bike. Horn faces out to the Right. Pretty quick and easy and about $20. No pictures right now...ridn' the Duc today.

You can see what I did with mine on my web site. It's a pretty simple change and worth the effort. Feel free to PM if you have any questions.
