Everybody wants that super clean Japanese look, except for a few weirdos ... One of the easiest mod to do is to relocate the horn back to where it was originaly meant to be... under the cover... safety be damned! What you'll need: A philips screw driver 10mm wrench and socket A chair, stool or midget, whatever's handy to hold the front rack. Here's the ugly NTSA enforced horn location on our Ruckuses, completely un-fuckingacceptable! Use the philips screw driver to remove the battery cover. use a 10mm socket/wrench and remove the horn. Get a chair handy and put right next to your ride, don't sit on it you lazy bastard, you're going to need it to set down the front rack after you remove it with the 10mm wrench or socket! So use the 10mm wrench or socket to remove the front rack and place the rack with the lights attached to it on the chair. I was all out of midgets so I used a recycling bin... Now bolt the horn to it's original location, it will fit perfectly, use the original bolt. Put everything back together and voila, you get that DSM look for free! Total time about 30 minutes...

You could always do the portuguese horn reloacation, like me. The wooden blocks are the mount for my digital video camera.
