So, now you’ve got your bracket made, where do you put it? I designed this bracket to fit on the upper engine bolt on the right side of the bike. This is the same bolt used for the upper right mounting point of the Yamaha engine bar. This bolt is installed with red threadlock at the factory so you may find it a bit of a challenge to remove. I used the correct size allen wrench and wore a work glove on my hand to protect it in case the wrench slipped while I was exerting force on it. I also recommend covering the tank to protect the paint job on your 1300. and finally, I’d recommend using blue threadlock on this bolt when reinstalling it. It’s not a bolt you want falling out as you cruise down the road! Here’s an image of the horn mounted with the new bracket:

As you can see, the horn mounts on the outer end of the bracket and should just clear the tank and engine bar. Mounting the horn in this location keeps the horn up out of the road grime and water it would be subject to if mounted down nearer the road and it also provides a clear path for the horn to sound off when needed.

In a day or so I’ll show you just what you need to wire this baby into your system.

Ride safe!
