Default Horn Re-locating

So i want to relocate my horn to the left side of the bike where the choke **** is. Has anyone ever seen a kit to do so?

Yep, I did it, but I didn't buy the kit they sell. I just bought a used horn & cover off a BT on Ebay. Easy hook up....Just remove the old horn from between the down tubes, unhook & reroute wires, and mount the bracket to the nut near the choke tube. I think I got the horn/cover for like $10 or $20. Oh, and now it sounds like a loud & deep car horn and not that roadrunner "Beep, Beep" horn.

Harley used to have one. Haven't looked in ages so I don't know if it's still available. As I remember, it took all of about 20 - 30 minutes to do, with "refreshments".

Here's the link for the one from Harley. I'm thinking about doing the same to mine, but adding a black cover to get rid of the chrome.

OK......Spend $90 on this kit, or just buy a used one from a BT off Ebay for $15 or so. It's your $$$$

Hell, here's a bunch of horn assemblies: http://motors.shop.ebay.com/Motorcyc...&_sop=15&_sc=1

I moved my horn. It was easy. I also put in a better horn. It sounds like a car horn now
