Default Horn Location 2009

Ok, here's the deal, I have an 2002 Ultra, I changed the location of my horn, because I replaced it with a fan!
With that being said, now I have a 2009 Street Glide, installed a fan, now I want to place a horn in a different location besides next to the jugs, but there is not place to mount the horn.
I mounted my old horn between the right side saddlebag and the frame, with the new bike there's not a place to mount it.
So has anyone mounted a horn other than next to the jugs? on a 2009 or newer? if so what kind of horn, where's the location, and of course pics!!!!

Thanks all!

I have a 2009 Ultra and I mounted 2 FIAMM Freeeway Blasters (hi and lo tone), behind the saddlebags, one on each side.
Here's a pic of one of them. The other is in the same location on the other side.

Is that a metal strap tied on to the saddlebag clips

It's the mounting bracket of the FIAMM that is bolted to the fender strut, under the saddlebag bracket. I also bent the brackets a little bit so that the horns are recessed and are mounted away from the back of the saddlebags and also to the belt on the left side.
You'll need a relay if you mount 2 horns like I did.

no and my bike is lowered, I will post a pic tonight when I get home. its really a perfect place for the horn, out of sight and still up front for effect. the horn is smaller than the factory one. I moved it because I diamond cut the cylinders and didn't want the horn to block all the diamond cutting

you can put it in the fairing or under the volt reg (pull the actual horn out of the cover and you can put it pretty much anywhere)
