Getting a real horn
One of the first farkles was to get a horn that would get cagers' attention. I first tried a Stebel Nautilus and built a bracket to mount it in place of the left side faux cover - click for details. After about 6 months we noticed that the chrome was coming off the horn and exposing the plastic and Catherine did not like the tone. So I got a set of the Stebel TM80 Magnums which for her is much better.

I mounted these to the tops of the engine guard so the trumpet pointed outward and down. I ran fused power and ground from the battery to the relay which I mounted behind the frame cross member above the top of the radiator.

The saddle clamp used to attached the horns to the engine guard. I used a bolt with a smaller head (for appearance sake) which required a bushing to maintain spacing.

The horn relay is mounted to the header going between the two down tubes of the frame.

The chrome button head bolt holds the horn relay to the frame. Fused power and ground come from the battery to the relay and the OEM horn wires are connect directly to the relay.

Left side front view. The horns are mounted so they are in same plain as the engine bars which keep them clear of Buck's lowers.

Right side - don't forget to check the clearance with the front all the way to the right.

Top view - notice the offset in the faux cover's bracket. The bracket was custom made. The horn relay was mounted on the backside of the bracket - out of sight.
