Default Horn?!

I'm ashamed to have to post this, but I can't find my darn horn! I wish I had paid attention when it was working. If the scale of the wiring diagram is any indication, it should be on the left rear of the bike. I mean I've looked everywhere......except where is actually is.

Maybe you can`t hear it because...it fell off.

Sorry, I couldn`t resist.

Look under the battery box.

You thought you were joking, right? Well it ain't there! The wires are there, which I confirmed were horn wires.

Tire on the left, starter in the back. And the dangling wires.

I can't believe I didn't hear it being battered by the tire, but it sure ain't there.

Seems that now would be a good time to relocate it to a spot where it can project sound. Not much room up front, though. Anyone done this?

Mine was relocated above the primary on a rubber mount. I dont like it there so I'm going to put one back where it was originally but I'll get a loud one.

I was shocked I didn't hear mine either. I had it on the the lift and noticed something odd around the rear wheel, and there it was (what was left of it)

Newer Dynas are under the steering neck on the frame. I bought a new snail horn from Amazon. Works great
sitting in the garage, on the highway, it doesn't work. Any Ideas?
