Where should my horn live - SV650.org

27-03-06, 09:07 AM

My K5 decided it didn't work this morning so at 6:45 i was sat on the road in the wind and the rain trying to dry the front plug out. This it seems was the simple bit, when it came time to put the bolts back in place from the radiator i realised the horn must have been attatched to one of them. Having never seen where the horn sits cos of the lowers i could not fathom out how it reattatched, the bracket just didn't seem to fit any way.

So my question is how exactly does the horn attatch to my bike cos at the moment it's cable tied to stop it flapping around inside my fairing. Sorry for being a dumbass

P.S. pictures would be good cos i'm stupid.

Not sure about the pointy, but on the curvey it bolts to the underside of the headstock.

Don't think thats where it was from i only undid three bolts, the 2 for the brackets for the fairings, one on each side of the radiator and the bottom rad bolt so i could swing it out the way to get to the plug. It just doesn't seem to go back onto any of these, i was wondering if it was held on by a lug or some thing behind the rad and fell down when i pulled that forward. It's a bit awkward to see with the lowers there.

Page 5 (I think) - the horn is item 16. In the picture it is mounted behind the rad on the left hand side

Thanks Matt thats it alright.

Thats going to be a b*gger to refit with the lowers attatched to Liz's bike still. I think the bolt that was holding it has fallen out.

You are joking, he's the one that moaned it was cold and went inside to watch the telly last weekend cos he got bored watching me fiddling with my bike. He doesn't know one end of a screwdriver from the other, And besides one screwdriver is the total of his toolkit.
