Default Horn location '82 FLHS

OK, I'm out of ideas and I just chipped the paint on my front fender.

Where the f**k does the damn horn go on my Shrine bike? I had one guy tell me inside the nacelle, which seems wrong, but I'm open to anything at this point.

It's not under the tank. It's not under the steering head. Any suggestions? Where did they go originally?

I believe your friend is correct. The horn has been behind the headlight since the 60's on the FL models.
