Had this horn on another bike that is now a non-runner, decided to swap it over while doing an oil change today.

Will get a picture up, but suffice to say I was able to make it fit securely without having to pull off any plastic - if you do it right, it (just barely) fits in place of (what I assume was) the stock horn.  You may need to pull some plastic for wiring though - I used a [url-http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0028ZKMM6]relay & fuse wiring harness,[/url] as the current through a stock horn button (especially a 30 yo button) isn't enough to get full volume.

Makes a huge difference when trying to alert people to your presence, the stock horn had me scared (not that I needed it much, passing power makes up for lack of horn volume).

I mounted mine under the seat. In the hole for the rear bolt of the stock airbox. Which is removed of course.

Must be a real joy buzzer!  Is probably a good option though, I may move mine.  Will require a bit of re-work on the relay harness I bought, but nothing major.

If you want to leave it up the front they will fit, and without removing the fairing.



This is the same horn as yours. Firehawk's trumpets are much bigger but yours will fit. You can then use the space under the seat for something else.
