in a few of a neighbor states if you get pulled over and do not have a horn it is considered an unsafe vehicle and they will impound your bike on site... i have had them check my horn on every single stop in IL and to my knowledge it is not a requirement... my brother on his chopper used to carry a whistle on his vest in case they asked him... seen it done man, not sure if you ever seen a bike draggd up a flat bad when they impound it, but here they are not very gentle

 

That sounds really harsh!

 

I moved mine in front the rear wheel. Made a bracket and bolted just under the swing arm

 

I moved mine...cowbell and all... to the down bars behind the forks
I like it there....it also has the factory horn removed and the compressor for my Howards Horns. The cow bell hides the compressor.

No mod needed, I used the hole in the cross brace where the crash bar would normally mount. No fender interference either....I also have a 2 inch drop in the forks

 

mines in the trash

 

I relocated mine down low and behind the engine.

 

While you're at it just go ahead and remove the brakes too.

 

what! dude a horn and brakes are completely different things! you telling me you can really hear your horn over your bike... come on now... remove brakes cause we pull or reloate the horn hahaha unreal

 

When I took my motorcycle test in Illinois back in 1990 (was 18) I borrowed my buddy's bike and the horn didn't work because the wires were toasted. The instructor wasn't going to pass me unless I got it working so I had to strip some wires with my teeth and hold them to the contacts with one hand and hit the button with the other to get the tiniest honk. The b*tch passes me but I would guess that you are right on it being required but not 100% sure.

 

I guarantee you once I have it set up you will hear my horn over your bike no matter how stupid the exhaust is on your bike. More importantly, the 4 and more wheelers will hear it.
