.060 Over
While I was doing my switch relocate I took advantage of the disassembly to install a Stebel (which I do on all my motorcycles) as I like to see cagers pee their pants when they get too close because they are texting and driving... The stock horn is about as wimpy as it gets. A bike like this with a horn that should be in a baby crib? Nah.. Stebel.
I didn't do anything that isn't already out there, but took a few pics and thought I'd share. First, clearly you have to get rid of the smog can under the left side cover. This eliminates so much stuff, you just need to do it as it makes you feel better. On my Roadster there were two metal tabs to the right of the stock relays, where I presume the Touring model mounts more relays for more stuff. Anyway, I cut those two tabs down to give me a nice little bracket to hang the stebel perfectly vertical. Sweet!
I mounted the relay on the rail (shown) just where the old air intake turned. Nice hole there to bolt to, no drilling necessary.
Power. If you pull the plastic cover off from in front of the left side plate there are a bunch of wires hooked to a bracket. One of those wires is an empty plug with a purple and black wire. That is your heated grips plug. If like me, I don't have heated grips, so it is a handy, fused, power source ready to tap into for your relay. The grips use a 10A fuse, the Stebel needs a 20A fuse... Pull the plugs off your stock horn and plug directly into the two activation studs on the relay and you're home free. 130db baby!
