You might try a Stebel or Big BF's quad setup mounted elsewhwere
and then remove the stocker. I have a Stebel under the left side
of the tank, but I put a chrome cover over the stock horn so I
left it there for looks.

I put mine under the bike as well, in front of the tire. I attached the assembly to the cross member where the kickstand is attached to.

The IS has the horn in a better place than the Standard. That is an alternative that might be plug & play.

Harley Davidson horn is what I mounted there. I like the chrome look of it. Works half the time so I just use it for the novelty of it.  |

I agree about the horn looks & placement. I mounted car horns in front of the swing arm on the x-member. Relay added, uses stock button. They sound like a Town Car since that is what they came from! Heard but not seen!  |

Hoser beat me to it. I think that even without the chrome, the Stebel mounted on the left side is less obnoxious than the OEM horn.  |

I would imagine your gonads get a wake-up call when you hit the horn button.

You're likely to get all of us showing off our bling horns rather than answering your original question. I don't even know what the stock horn looks like. I didn't put this on, but came with my bike and I believe it to be the Rivco horn. Sorry to not answer your question. You may now call me a showoff.  |

If you have an Interstate you can mount the horn in the pods.... I have a Stebel in each.....

BigBF Quads under the bike Unseen but definitely heard! PS: Two of my co-workers, both on Hardleys, want to upgrade after a short / loud demo. Had to break it to them that the BigBF setup might not fit on a mid sized bike! |

Basically what everyone here is saying is that finding a better place for the stock horn is redundant because the stock horn is useless, wherever you put it. I can yell louder.
You don't need to relocate the stock horn, you need to replace it.
Buy an air horn, or a BigBF setup, or go to pick-a-part and tear horns off a car or truck and get creative. The only thing you need the stock horn for is to trigger the relay for whatever setup you go with. And definitely use a relay.

The "NON-chrome" actually does well there especially if you don't have the chrome covers everywhre. But I guess I am a CHROME NUT!    Cool another chance to share some of my hard work from my Multipoint upgrade thread....  |

Yes, Buy the IS bracket, mount it and the horn to it, and extend the wiring. Works like a champ. Did it on my standard so I could mount wind deflectors (lowers made of lexan). |

I dressed up my stock horn by replacing it with "Freeway Blasters" and mounted them to the lift adapter.  |

I have the chrome trumpet style air horns mounted underneath my 2000 Valk Interstate and like the location. One has finally gone bad. Before I buy a replacement set, does anyone have a spare for sell? I have also considered replacing what I have with a "Bad Boy". Any thoughts?

Go to a salvage yard and get a pair of horns off of a Buick or a Dodge Product. Mount it under the bike in front of the rear wheel. USE A RELAY. Just extend the wire from the old horn under the tank and down under the side cover, left or right one, makes no difference. I have Big BF's Quad horns on MGM and the Chevy Trike I have a pair of 85 Buick horns. Them suckers will wake up the dead. They will even get a semi to move over then look to see what it is. He chased me to the exit I was headed for and pulled off with me. At the bottom of the exit ramp he got my attention and asked what they were off of. Said he had a beep beep on his Toyota car and wanted to wake some folks up when needed. Said the Toyota was toooo small for his truck AIR Horns. I also have a set of air horns on the Chevy Trike. |
