Horn Relocation

[WhiskeyUSMC1979_imp]

Definitely describes the different schools of thought here on the forum.

1. - I'd like to hide my horns so they don't stand out as much.

2. - I want to add chrome to my horn so it stands out more.

Hahahaha! Mark me down for option 1! Then again, I have never been a fan of chrome.

After much contemplation about where to mount my Stebel on my CB1100, I decided I would benefit from separating the compressor and horn sections. Let's just say that the kind folks at Stebel, NEVER want this horn to come apart. There is an abundance of naval-grade permanent adhesive holding the plastic horn section to the compressor. DA*N IT!!! I separated them, but I now have either an involved project at repairing the air chamber of the horn section, or I have a large paperweight to fondly reflect upon. Will post pics if I'm successful with the repair and mount...

I reckon you already down the road with plan A.

There is a split version that might have worked. I'm thinkin of doing this at some point.

moved one of mine back (and adjusted the horn tone.. you can do that with the screw) to mount on the oil cooler bolt. put a slight 's' in the bracket to keep it off the cooler. then i mounted an original cb 'honda' logo, blacked out, over the brake junction. looks wayyy better and horn is quite clear to hear. did this at mile 11 on the odometer.

Can you show a picture of it?

thx!

I did a search for moving the hideous horns and ended up with a thread in CB photos with mjvielle's modded CB. Thought I would repost the question here as this sub menu is more active (mods feel free to delete the other post as it will be superfluous).

As I have said one of the first mods I did on the Bonnie was to move the horn under the tank. Really cleans up the front. My lovely CB has TWO VERY PROMINENT horns on the front that MUST be moved. Where did they go mjveille?

I hated the look of the cheap stock horns on the front of the CB (especially if I hat on the Comet fairing and then just peaked out under it). SO I moved them under the tank (inspired by my '67 CB450). They tucked in there great with just a simple bracket I had to make (from the stock tail light and plate assembly). I simply used the bolt that mounts the oil cooler and it holds it in there great... works well, they still point forward, sounds the same, and now they're hidden!
