    Lady friend stopped by the other day and mentioned her horn wasn't working, told her to drop it off today and I would look at it. Qeustion is where is it looked all over, can't find it I know my eye sight isn't what it once was but I can still find the beer in the fridge. 91FXRS

    Check under the battery, in front of the rear tire. Apparently horn failure is a common problem on those bikes.

    . . . Or squeeze her bulb. If all else fails, mount one of these on her handlebars . . .

    Found it under the batt. and in front of rear tire. Looks like the one I had on my 65 Mustang ( should of held on to that car). Figure I will just mount one on the down tube up front, thaks for the help.

    Funny place to put a horn. I think the new location will help the horn to be heard better.

    Get her a custom electric "air" horn at 128db she'll be heard by stupid cagers who don't know the difference between a semi horn and a bike horn - bet they'll see her then.
