Default Horn relocation/replacement ideas?
My horn chafes my leg and is now causing some bruising. I'd like to know if there are any kits to relocate or some inexpensive replacement ideas.

TIA, fourhour

I ditched the five pound anchor that came on the front of my bike...I went to the auto parts place and got the smallest 12 volt horn in black...five bucks, such a deal. I installed it down under the front of my bike on a drilled metal tab that came on the frame. Works great, nearly invisible and cheap. Ride safe.

DK customs makes a kit, IIRC. I know I have the one that comes with their coil relocation, but I'm betting you can purchase it separately.

Yup, this. My horn is my right hand. A little twist is all you need.

Yes, we have two different types of Horn Relo's.

One puts the horn between the downtubes. It comes in black or chrome and is 105 dB.

We also have an air horn that comes in black or chrome, and is 118 dB. These mount off the swingarm.

Link to both styles HERE

Here's a pic of the chrome one on my Heritage-

I'm pretty happy with my "Wolo Bad Boy". Twistin' the throttle wasn't quite cuttin' it, even with Short Shots. Sometimes I use both.

If I could easily mount a horn which was 100 times as loud, you betcha I'd be using it! Danged people who text and internet browse while they're driving!

Those of you who go without a horn can decide your own fate, just like you can decide to bungee jump without the bungee.

I don't have any stats, but I would venture to say that 99% of horn usage (both cages and bikes) is AFTER a close call has already taken place and it is used to vent frustration and anger at the other driver. I have never seen the use of a horn PREVENT a close call or accident. maybe it happens, but rarely. If a vehicle cuts you off or places you in a bad situation and your first reaction is to go for the horn button and not the throttle or brake, then that horn will likely decide your fate.
