Default Horn Question

This weekend we picked up my wife's first bike, a 105th anniversary Sportster 1200L. It is beautiful and once getting it home I couldn,t help but notice how nice the left side of the engine looked with the black fins and the chrome and then realized that it was mainly due to there being no big chrome horn hanging there.

So this is my question. Is there anyway to relocate the horn on my 07 RK or would it be best to switch to a Sportster horn to get rid of the stock appendage?

Couldn't you get a painted cowbell cover or is the point to get rid of it all together? I was at the dealer and they have a horn that is loud as hell, they have to warn people over the p.a. before they are allowed to demonstrate it. My point is they come in chrome or not, so it could be painted black.
Wow, I really didn't help at all... sorry.

after you hear that sporty horn on the road, you'll be wanting to add about 12 air horns to your ride instead.....
