Is this horn like the stebel nautilus where there is the small canister for the air and then the horn attaches to that? If so could the horn go on the firewall behind the rear cylinder and then the canister somewhere up by the battery?
I am thinking about doing a better horn as one of the winter projects...

toss the parts in the drawer of failed experiments and go buy another
I wanted a loud air horn and keep the cowbell also, Bought a WOLO Bad Max, equivalent to Stebel compact truck, separated the horn and compressor, no way its going under the cowbell without some serious modification to the cowbell. Just got the Stebel compact truck horn in the mail today, going to leave it alone and just find a place to mount it as is.

yes it is ,,it did fit behind the bell after the split, mounted the compressor in front of the battery under the seat, in the garage cold worked well, on the road hot not so well,, I think the comp, was getting to hot under the seat, IMO, so I took it off reassembled it ,,putting this one on the truck if it still works ,,waiting on epoxy to cure,, will buy another and remove cow bell and mount it there

Did you use the relay that was supplied. It must run thru a relay. I have tried several ways to separate and use with not much luck. I now have mine mounted to the front of the TP, under the flapper thingy under the back rest. Out of site and loud as hell, just the way I like it.

Bought a chrome Stebel last year and installed as is. Rubber mounted it as best I could because I heard that these may not last. So far ( including with a collision with a pickup truck,) and its still strong and loud! (Enough to make unsuspecting passerby jump!)

The horn is still complete. The only pic I have now is with other horns that I had mounted in the same place and that have been replaced by the air horn. The other horns that were there before, were mounted on a separate bracket that I fabed, and not to the TP. Hope this helps.

I installed the Bad Boy on my FLHX on the stock horn bracket, bought the Kuryakyn cover for the horn from J&P and installed it, looks good, very happy. Yeah, I would have preferred using the stock cow bell but it wasn't a happening thing, so this works fine. You might want to consider going this route.
I didn't have to use the relay that came with the horn...just plug and play, since the stock horn also uses a relay.
