Horns

Interesting, got a picture that shows more of the bike?

Like this?

Sort of yes. So the horn is between the front part of the frame just under the tank.

I just wanted to be more clear where it was.

Yes, it's tucked well out of the way and the original wiring connected to it without any modification. The small S/S screw that you can see is the lower of the two screws holding it in place.

Love that color combo

Me too! If someone had told me that I would like an Orange paint scheme, I'd have told them they were nuts!

Good location. Thanks. Did you have to drill any additional holes?

 

[sikatri]

I’m thinking there’s frame tube clamps available for that location.

Yes, I had to drill a small hole in the gusset that you see in the first photo.

I started looking at accessory clamps. LoL. That might be an option as well. I’ll let y’all know when I move on this.

I have used clamps made more for highway pegs to mount stuff.
One time I mounted my extra horns with too light of duty bracket. One horn departed my MC at 80mph near Gallup, NM. lol. Lesson learned.

Sturdy and lock tight thread compound on a list for any add on bracket. Thanks for the reminder.

Have a look on the underside of your bottom yoke. My Striple has two M6 tapped holes 20mm deep. You may be lucky to find the same on other models.

The horn on my 2015 T100 Bonneville does not really get the attention of cell-phone engaged motorist who are paying absolutely no attention to the world outside their car.

Any suggestions on a louder horn? something to cause an escape of urine from the car driver perhaps?

Mounting space is limited on the Bonnie so please don't suggest a set of locomotive horns

Denali Soundbomb Mini is plug and play (and louder!)

This guy in this video, at the time he was living in Japan. He was stationed there with the US forces. Just watch 60 seconds of this video where he is setting up two car horns for a test. If you watch the whole video, he might actually have some ideas for setting up better horns.

I managed to bury a pair of air horns and compressor in the fairing nose of my Ducati and included a discrete double pole, double throw switch in the wiring so that I can switch from OE to FLoud.

Any of the Nautilus knockoffs ( Denali, WoLo, sound Bomb, Farbin, etc) will do the job, just use a relay, so you don't burn up the wires! 133 dB!

Denali Sound Bomb mini is intended to be plug & play, so negating the need for a relay. I'm well impressed with it on my Bonnie. I always notice when they test the horn during an MoT (in a busy garage with half a dozen workshop bays!)

I dremmeled down an "L" bracket from Home Depot, bolted it onto the transmission case, then hung the SoundBomb off of it. I replaced the side cover on that side with a leather saddlebag, I found out later the plastic side cover doesn't fit with the current SoundBomb placement, but I'm pretty sure a little goosing around with it would allow it to. And it is LOUD, no problem getting anyone's attention on the road.

Lol, looks like I did a lot of work for nothing, they make their own "L" bracket:
