FYI: I purchased a pair of high and low tone FIAMM horns (the kind that
look like a snail). I made a simple straight bracket about 2 1/2" long
out of 1" wide aluminum (1/8" thick) so that I could mount them just
below the top crash front crash bar mount using the standard 8mm bolt.
The engine vibration was too much for the aluminum and one of my
brackets broke in half right where the bolt went through it. Looks like
I'll need to use regular mild steel or stainless.

Charlie, did you use stainless for your brackets on Sophia?
