Mounting a second horn to the left (vertical) frame tube

[rpvanoyen]

Hi all,

As I experienced the problem of the mounted horn (done by the dealer) between the forks and its reduced spring travel (it hit the top of the fender quite hard yesterday), I removed it ofcourse. I would like to mount it onto the left frame tube as low a possible, so it's on somewhat the same height as the standard horn. Therefor I probably best need a black clamp with a M8 hole in forward position. Maybe a similar clamp which can be used for lights a.o.

Would this location be a good one? Any advice (or photos) is appreciated.

I'm not sure of the horn size and shape you are referring to but some of us have mounted replacement horns inside the fairing. There is lots of empty space to each side of the forks. Here is how I did it and another link to how many people did horn upgrades:

Also if you are going to use existing horn wiring, I believe some people have mentioned that you could easily blow a fuse cause that circuit can't handle a lot of load so I would make sure you do the research. I just replaced mine with a fiamm horn which was basically plug and play. It was also super cheap too.

Thanks for both replies. Maybe I mount the 2nd horn inside the right fake air intake, good space for it and probably no need to extend the power line. Better protected from the elements too.
I asked my dealer on first install to use a 15A relay (I have a beautiful black and salt water spray resistant two-tone Hella's which draw over 9 amps), so that should be fine.
