Default Horn relocation ideas welcome

I lifted the tank 2inches on my 98 RK and relocated the coil under the left rear cover above the fuse block..now I want to get rid of the Chrome Cowbell but keep a horn on my bike.....anyone know of a great relocation spot and if there are smaller size loud horns that can be hidden....left side of motor looks sick with new fat orange Taylor wires running to the back of the bike and the Chrome Cowbell in my opinion just looks plain stock.
thanks for your time.

I've seen them mounted behind the saddlebags, one one each side.

i was going to suggest the side cover, above the fuseblock (thats where I just relocated mine to), but I moved my coil to the side of the engine (made an FXR-style motor mount).


what are you gonna put in place of the cowbell? (or are you gonna put anything there?)

That's a good idea Kury has there. I sure would like to see one mounted and check the clearances first though. Are the clearances between the horns and all moving parts acceptable?

The horns can be had anywhere. I would like to get hold of the bracket they sell with the horns!!

That's what I did. Freeway Blasters hi and lo tone, one on each side, with the connection to the horn switch hidden behind the cow bell. They require a relay harness.
