Howdy folks.
Got an airhorn a few years ago to put on a ninja250, since it wasn't fast I thought I'd at least give it a bit of bark. Well, I'm selling that now and so I took the horn off and put it back to stock. I decided I might as well put it on my FZ6, but I'm having trouble.
First off I have a naked conversion cause I crashed my cowling, so that makes things more difficult. I'm trying to put it somewhere without it looking ridiculous. I got it hooked up to the old horn mount, but I can't get it to clear the fender. When I was setting it up I knew it'd be close, but no matter what rotating or bending I do with it, I think it's too big and it's always going to hit the fender on hard braking/ braking and hitting bumps. Has anyone done this and modded it to fit?
Any other ideas as well? An option I saw would be hanging it off the side of the frame, out of the old cowling mount, but then I'd just have a tumor of a horn hanging off the side of the bike. Someone else suggested trying to fit it under the seat, but I don't know if that's possible.
Ideas?
The picture makes it look like it has no chance, but really it's a lot closer than it looks. The very back of the horn is only just hitting that little lip on the fender that curls up, if it was smooth I think the horn would clear.
