I think this must be a USA thing....

Use the horn in the pick-up lots though...
I got the horn because obviosly my 100 decibel pipes ain't getting their attention.

I rarely use my horn, but the occasional idiot in a cage on their cell phone, or adjusting the bass to their sub woofer has cut me off, I got sick of it and got the $50 air horn. It not only wakes them up, but I get the satisfaction of knowing they probably have to run right home and check their shorts for tobbaco stains!

So I installed the NAPA horn but I can't get it to go on any way but towards my right when I'm sitting on my bike (or up, but that'd be bad for moisture). The wiring won't reach... any tips?

I'm also looking around eBay for a cover- will this work in synch with the stock set-up (i.e. no mods to get it to fit with the NAPA horn)?

I have both and it will work. I was able to put my horn on with the horn pointing down and the wires then connected on the left side of the bike. When you put it inside the horn cover you may have to bend the connectors on the horn a bit so it will fit inside.

I also changed my horn using the same items. Did you use the OEM horn bracket?? The one provided by NAPA isn't quite long enough. Next, I had to redo the OEM zip ties fastening the wires to the frame AFTER I got the horn and cover installed and wired.

Great point, forgot about that (NAPA bracket)!

I'm gonna end up picking up a rocker horn bracket and moving mine to that position.

Anyone know if the stock horn will fit onto the Rocker bracket, or should I just spent the $17 on the Napa one?

Buy the bracket and if it doesn't then head over to Napa.. They usually have them on the wall..

That's the plan. Then all I've gotta do is extend the wires.
