My older bikes had the high beam button where the horn button should have been. I use the horn more then the high beam switch. It was awkward trying to hit the horn button in a emergency. Looks like someone from the MOCO actually took a bike for a ride, and discovered the mistake and switched them on newer bikes.,,,
Well heres an honest review based on his offer. Did not work for me. I have Avon grips and the wide grip doesn't work well for fit. Had it fit my grips, I think it still would not have worked for me. You give up some significant grip area for the mounting of the unit. I was under the impression it mounted further in at housing. It sits in the grip area and doesn't make for a usable surface. Sorry dude.

I also cut a piece of plastic label-maker tape (red) and labeled it with a few characters to raise the label and it helps to find the horn button now, compared to a smooth horn button.
I also thought about doing something similar to this...glue something small on the button that my thumb can feel.
Miss the damn thing all the time, HD needs to relocate the button to the middle of the seat so when you get those tense moments your *** will pucker up and blow it.

Only one problem with that.... In an emergency situation, the button would be a shade of brown on my bike.
I've found that there is a really simple fix to the issue with the horn button. All I did was loosen the module, roll it slightly down to a better position then tighten it back up. After I did that, my thumb is now right in the middle between the horn button and the turn signal and it only takes a very slight move of my thumb to be able to hit either button. You might try that.
I decided to share my earlier reply because adjusting the module to position the horn button is such an easy job, it's not rocket science. After all, if the factory adjusted it to where they wanted it, I surely can do the same to move it to where I want it to be, easy.
Indeed, on a Harley (in my case a Limited) I can't find the logic in the place of some buttons. 90% of the buttons are in the right place, but especially the horn button and the headlight beam flashing button are on a very strange place. While the first thing you have to do to avoid coming into am hazardous situation is to sound your horn or in the darkness to flash your headlight beam. They call this 'ergonomics' and sometimes it is absent in the design department of the MoCo.
