Default 2012 Fatboy low horn

I got a new to me 2012 fatboy low and cannot seem to find the location of the horn itself. I am replacing because it isn’t working.I may sound crazy, but I just need some help.

Does the horn work? That should show you where it is.

It's been replaced on your bike, by the thingy that the red cables are connected to.

In the quest to get a certain "look" people will sometimes mount the coil in the horn's spot, like on your bike.

Most will just move the horn to between the front frame rails, or back by the rear tire as slickman suggests...

And yes, some will just take the path of least resistance and not bother reattaching the horn at all....

Your horn may not be broken, but rather just missing...
