Pr?t? Allez!
I'm kind of a safety Boy Scout. I always upgrade the horns on all my bikes, and I use the Freeway Blasters (both high and low tones) whenever possible. They are LOUD (132 dB), they sound great, they're durable (unlike certain miniature air horns), and they're hilariously inexpensive! Plus, it's always an interesting challenge mounting them.
I put one of them where the OEM horn goes, and fabbed a little bracket extension so that the business end of the Fiamm is right up against the cutouts in the bodywork. Here it is when first installed...
...and here it is from the rear with the inner fairing panel in place. You can see the little "L" bracket I made that places it in just the right place.
A view from the front with the panel in place.
That wasn't bad at all, but where to put the other horn? It seemed that an easy position would be just above the other one. Here you can see it mounted just inside where the right mirror housing attaches.
Here's the second horn from below. You can see how the opening will project down and forward. It's pretty open down through the bottom of this fairing where the forks are.
This last one shows both horns in position. I used a small relay from Eastern Beaver that tucks up right next to the upper horn. The OEM horn wire triggers the relay, and power comes from a dedicated circuit off a new power distribution center in the right fairing pocket.
I did a bunch of other mods at the same time, including heated grips, several Powerlet sockets for heated gear, and some killer LED driving lamps; see the various threads in the appropriate "Farkles" section. I'm extremely pleased with the results of this little project. I sound like a '68 Buick on steroids.
