No horn
Some people run without a horn. I've seen it posted more than a few times.
I've used mine twice. Both times were about 40 yards too late to have made any difference. It may have drawn attention to the finger I had in the air.

When I did the DK Customs coil relocation kit, I mounted the new horn between the front down tubes, similar to the Blackline stock horn mount. Anyway, I never hooked the wire up and have not missed it at all.

Thought about not hooking is up but Virginia frowns on the no horn bit. Can't pass the state inspection. (See below)

INSPECT FOR AND REJECT IF:
1. Motorcycle is not equipped with a horn in good working order capable of emitting sound audible under normal conditions for a distance no less than 200 feet.
2. Horn is not mounted securely, wiring is defective, control button is not operating properly, or is not installed at a location readily accessible to the operator.

I use my horn a lot. When the stock one went out, missed it a lot and upgraded to an air horn (wolo), much louder and worth it.
Loud pipes don't seem to get people's attention, but an air horn screech always does.
