1000S Horn location?

[rutgery]

I'm looking for a way to mount the horns on my v7 sport build, and the horns on the 1000S seem to fit in between the cylinders real nice. Does anyone have a detail picture or discription of how the horns are mounted?

These are dual, red, German (loud) "HELLA" horns, (from GRIOT's GARAGE), that I installed on both my '83 850 LM-III and my current '98 Centauro GT.  Original bracket, and you should be able to do the same on your 1000S.  Hope this helps...

Not sure if this helps or not, but here is how it is shown in the part manual:

Bracket #17756840 in the 93 parts book. Nothing special of a bracket, one can easily be fabricated.

Actually, those brackets *are* kinda special.. which I learned much to my chagrin several years ago.

They are several thin strips of spring steel to keep from breaking from vibration.

Yep, they almost look like a stack of feeler gauges all of the same gauge. I can take a pic of the ones on my G5 later and post it, but not sure if the 1000S ones are the same.

It looks like two pieces of galvanized steel about 3/4" wide by 3-4"? long with rounded edges.

Found a good enough pic on my computer. Barely shows it, but you can see them/it. I opted to stagger each leaf because I couldn't decide which horn to give the front row and I believe in horn equality , Not sure if that is the right way to mount it however.

 







Seems that bracket(s) are not sold separately? I didn't see a separate part number for them in either the 1000s manual or G5 manual. Mine came with the horns I bought:

So simple that it's overlooked.  I was looking at Blackcat's pix and thought "Y'ep, those are the mounts."  Never tried to replace them as I have a bunch from the bikes that I have and consider them the mounts to use.     Now I know why.
