Pointy Horn Location?
Is there any chance anyone can take a couple of pics of where the horn is located and bolted to on a pointy please? On the bike I just got it came as a non-fitted optional extra
 and I can't see where I need to bolt it???? Many thanks |

Re: Pointy Horn Location
I think its behind the radiator on a pointy?
*on SVs the mounting bracket it's a straight piece of metal that bolts just above the radiator to its left. But being straight it sticks out a lot, although it's covered by the fairings. On a naked I don't know maybe the bracket has a 90 degree bend, if not it would be sticking out; but yeah it's a bracket it's not part of the radiator so I do not think any piece broke off from your radiator. Make sure that when you mount the new horn put some rubber washers to absorb the vibrations if not a bolt can come loose or the bracket might actually fail... *found above on svrider

Re: Pointy Horn Location
It does bolt onto the radiator as standard, but if you put it there, every time the thing gets hot, it packs up. I moved mine and mounted it on the fork leg.

Re: Pointy Horn Location
Thanks Geodude, all bolted back on and thanks for the tip Jayneflakes, I'll keep an eye out for the problem but just wanted it back on so I could MOT it and get this one back on the road.
