- June 20, 2014, 19:17:25 PM ok went and looked at it for a few hours and tried a lot of places, not many places large enough, or with the clearance needed, so for now, till I have more time to tweak this project.....
used the rad mounting bolt, on the right side, over the rear brake master cylinder, seems good. Everything is working and seems to be fine, only thing, and not sure if it is because of the horn or not, but my signal lights seem to be flashing fast, need to disconnect the horn and check the signal lights. But never went near them in any way so not sure why that would be so.
the switch is a old film canister for now, but I have a really good idea for that to, but to do it I will have to take the bike off the road for a few days so right now this will do as a temp job....

- June 18, 2014, 13:30:49 PMIs there enough room here? Or maybe a little lower along side the front cylinder? You could paint the whole unit flat black to blend it in.

Wiring is really simple just a slight mod, got the rest all done. Just wondering why it is not more common to see this it will save lives, 49 you are now in the list for Inventor of the decade for the Forum.
Same bracket, drill 4 small holes in the helmet and use flat head bolts to mount them and a tad more padding there to prevent bolt marks on your head.this is just a mock up for now...the clamps will be removed.......

- June 18, 2014, 11:12:55 AMQuoteoh wow never even thought of that, now if I hurry up and order a second one and mount them like one on each side of the helmet, like antlers (animal horns) with a quick disconnect like 49 suggested, that would be awesome.......mmmm.... food for thought......How 'bout on your helmet

The wiring is good to go, so that part is simple now.....lol......
How 'bout on your helmet..... you know- like a quick connect camera mount. Then put a plug on the wires, so you can un-hook to get off the bike for fill-ups and what-not. You'd be the talk of the town... 
I'm having trouble envisioning places with enough room for that big horn, actually. Unless you mount it up front some place, sticking out the side a bit. I'm sure you'll find a place to tuck it in.
