wrong sided horn

(1/3) > >>

While changing a throttle cable I noticed the horn is mounted on the near side as opposed to the correct. Simples eh just swap it over... nope it fouls on the number 3 ht lead and no matter what it will not fit. So returned to original/wrong position. It still works but it means that the loom support that should be there isn't but hasn't been for some time so no matter. Question is the horn is about 100mm in diameter is it the right size horn or a replacement which is bigger hence why it's mounted the other side. Over to you!

Nurse Julie:
It measures 9.5cm inc the cover. It's mounted on the off side and it is a bit tight in there!!

It's a lot easier to get in place if you take the tank off, as you can work from the top.

Sort of related, while reassembling the right hand switch cover assembly around the throttle cable housing - which went okay - I've had trouble getting the 2 halves to join together fully, either the front closes but not the rear or vice versa, I've left it with a small gap at the front, or is there a knack I'm not seeing?
