Default Relocating the horn

Anyone done this? If you have tried to use a triple tree stand you'd know that the horn is smack dab in the way. It's a bit of a pain to remove, due to the brake lines running right in front of the hole. I'd like to move it somewhere out of the way, but still be effective as a horn. Extending the lines is not a problem.

I figure I might need to machine a bracket, but any ideas?

I have mine on the left radiator mount. I can snap some picks if you want

A little off topic, but over on the Norton Forum they always talk about building the bike around the horn. When you put it back together "start with the horn". That's because it is always buried somewhere you can't get to. On the Norton it's under the battery tray in the middle of the bike.

I mounted mine under the fuse box bolts on the left side. Works great, still is solid and the wires are more than long enough.

So I was working on the bike this weekend and decided it was time to do this. I tried mounting it as Emmanuel described, but it wouldn't clear both the fork at full lock nor the cover. I ended up mounting it to the fairing stay on the right side, where there is hardly any obstructions. Seems to work well.
