relocating the ridiculous horn

I am looking to relocate the quite ugly fixing for the horn, has anyone done/considered the same. If so where have you put it?

I remember someone saying they made a bracket for the radiator cover for mounting the horn, but have no further information on that.

Of course you wanted to know about relocating it, but I simply replaced it. It is not a pretty horn, but man is it loud. Stebel air horn.


I recall seeing a pic from Mick's bike where he put it under the seat. Here it is:

BTW that Stebel air horn that Texastri bracketed in place of his stock horn with his own engineed bracket is also done up in a chrome version for $50. I don't know how they do it but that thing is much louder than some double bell/hose versions. A dandy birthday present eh? hint hint.

I like the looks of the horn better than the coolant pipe that it hides.

Harbor freight has a knock-off of the stebel in chrome.
Bit pricey, but I'm considering it.

Note the decibles. The Stebel blows 139 Db! That's loud enough to shake cell phones into drivers laps
