Stopped by dealership and spoke to the service manager. After being told my bike was a few weeks past warranty, I was walked over to the parts department and told a replacement bracket would run about $23. Not sure if I want to buy a replacement bracket or just remove the horn. I almost never use it. In two years, I have used the horn maybe 4-5 times. Perhaps I should upgrade to a better horn.

That sounds like a good idea. My LR has only about 1.2k but reading about this makes me want to upgrade the horn before the bracket breaks. I don't even know what it sounds like, never used it either.

Or a good opportunity to make it a $200 upgrade and get a hell of a horn with a titanium bracket. Can't wait for mine to break.

I rode mine to the top of Mulholland Drive and took a couple of pics of the Exhaust, Fairing and LED License Plate Frame fresh upgrades. Gorgeous day.

While it is not an expensive part, and one I can afford, I have no faith in the replacement part. If ever there was a part of a motorcycle that should not fail, you would think a damn horn bracket would be high on the list. I am looking at an upgrade if I do not get a 2018 Low Rider S.

would have to look at mine, would likely be very simple to fabricate a more sturdy one.

Horn bracketry made by the same outfit that made the wheel bearings? To a price point...
