Default Relocating Factory Horn

I'm looking for ideas on relocating the factory horn. I think my Sporty would look a ton better if the horn wasn't right smack in the middle. I'm hoping for pics & in-depth install info for the relocation. Any help and / or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I've always thought the horn was stupid looking on most bikes. I'll be watching this thread with interest.

Ain't sure about a Sporty horn, but I bought an aftermarket horn and mounted it between the rear of my oil tank and rear fender on my Sloptail. It's out of sight tucked in back there, but still makes a good loud noise. Saw some fairly small round horns at ABC Auto Parts Saturday while hunting for the V-Twin oil. They were about 3 inches in diameter and maybe 1 inch thick, including the mounting strap. Louder than stock car horns, so the package said. Might be just the ticket for stashing one in an out of the way spot.

I think the stock horn bites. I've got a small duo air horn set, I'll be adding to my bike. I'm still working out all the deetails, but I want people to hear me when I hit the horn. I've seen a few of the kits out there and don't reall like them, so I'll try to build my own.
