I mounted it in the stock location. It's tight with the bar fully to the left but does not restrict full lock to lock movement. Just used a longer stainless cap screw and washer. Didn't take much time and the horn is much louder.

Thanks much , it looks like there is room under there ,I was worried the fender may hit when the forks are compressed .

I did the same thing and haven’t had an issue in 4K miles. I painted the Wolo horn primer black and you can’t really even see it, BUT YOU CAN HEAR IT!!

I highly suggest the use of a relay as the stock horn wiring/switch isn’t really designed to handle the additional amps these air horns pull.

I like the flat black idea, should just about make it invisible. The relay is likely a wise move as well.
