I had trouble with that horn on my 9sx as well... the bell needs to "ring" and can't have stuff wedged against it.

You can go to your local auto parts store and get a Fiam (I think) "Freeway Blaster". It is more like the old M2 horn, a kind of snail thingy, and is much less fussy about where it gets mounted. Inexpensive, and sounds much louder as well.

Awesome, thanks guys. I ended up getting the stebel and the HIDs all mounted up. Ran 2 fused 12ga lines up front from the battery to relays for the hi and low beam and the horn. Separated and trimmed the horn down, mounted the compressor behind the flyscreen with everything else and ran house to the horn next to the engine. All seems to work fine. Pretty tight fit for all that crap, but I think I could stand to go back in and shorten alot off slack in the wiring. Also switched the orange and yellow wires in the headlight harness so the low beam is on fulltime. Man those suckers are bright! And the horn is loud!

Those Fiam horns are great Reepicheep. They were standard on my Laverda 750. High low note - sounds like a truck horn and still legal. A friend has them mounted off the fly screen on his lightning. I'm looking at where they'd fit on my bikes.

If you do an airbox delete they fit nicely next to the filter under the airbox cover. I believe you have to separate the horn from the compressor to make it fit, but I've seen it successfully mounted that way.
