An industry Standard location would be a good idea as I've said before. Turn sig and horn on cars are no?
I ride a few different M/C's and after a day on a non-HD when I do get back on the HD I reflexively hit the turn sig not the horn. The good old Japanese standard is on most bikes in the world. I think even the stubborn BMW Germans have seen the light.
Still the present HD self canceling are better than their old hold the button set up, that was really lame

 

I thought it was just me. "I'll show you, cager! I'm gonna flick on my left signal!"


I had a piece of blue tape on my horn button for a while. All my buttons are chrome, visually can't really distinguish. It boils down to muscle memory I think. I make a point to hit my horn starting out on each trip.


Although this has caused me to hit the horn instead of the left signal a couple times, lol, to the confusion of those driving near me.

 

Yep that has been my experience as well. I am two busy taking evasive action and never even think about the horn button until I am clear of whatever it was. To be honest its no different when I am in an automobile

 

I thought that's what loud pipes were for? Now I'm confused...

 

That's me....but in reverse. I'm aiming for the high beams and hit the horn.

 

i mainly use my horn when i am going around a blind curve... i want the cars to be on their side of the road when they make a visual. my horn seems plenty loud it hits 102+ db.

 

I don't have an issue with the horn button. I use it often enough. I also prefer the turn signal buttons on a Harley than I do on just about any other motorcycle.

 

Yep...drove me crazy my first night ride on the new bike.

 

Yup, you got that right. Horn is large button right over left turn signal button, have to reach over it to hit low beam. Until I saw this thread, I thought the Harley set up was pretty easy to use.
I like the Triumph push to cancel turn signal as if I signal a turn early, it always shuts off before the turn. But as motorcycles go, I always thought the current Harley set up was okay. I'd like the ability to double click the turn signal and have it stay on for three times the length as a single click, slowing down not withstanding.

 

Think I've used my horn about once. Never find it in an emergency, doubt it would help anyway. Brakes or throttle best bet i think.
