Just got one of these. Where do you suggest I mount it (and how)?

Mounted mine off the unused screw hole on the right side of the block on Jade.  I think it's pretty much the same horn.

Mounted mine inside the right side radiator pod. You can't see it but sure can hear it.

No pix but I mounted mine on the left side just forward of the fuel tap. The "cylinder" is horizontal with

the wires towards the rear.

Great horn, BTW. cooldude



Ride safe, y'all!

Which ever way you mount it make sure you use a relay to power the horn off the battery and not the horn circuit. Use the OEM horn wire to activate the relay.

thanks everyone. I'll look at both locations mentioned above and get it installed. Looking forward to having a horn instead of a squeaky toy.
