Howdy Yall... Im in process of cleaning up my handle bars and relocating switches. All im using is the horn and hi-low fr head light. Im curious where and how you mounted yours? Photos would be appreciated. 

Thanks Skooter

It would be helpful if you tell the group what year and model your bike is.

Just curious, are you relocating the horn button away from the handlebar?
Otherwise look old school, a simple push button mounted on the bar, hidden wire thru the bar.

$4.00 horn button

Toggle switch on the headlight, or mounted in the fork nacelle like the passing lamps switch.

Old Skool.... Horn button like the one Hoss showed mounted by the battery and this switch https://www.amazon.com/Standard-Motor-Products-DS70T-Dimmer/dp/B004C0LSW8/ref=sr_1_3?crid=LYTMOE81FH8L&keywords=automotive+dimmer+switch&qid=1700567393&sprefix=automitive+dimmer+switch%2Caps%2C125&sr=8-3
mounted on the left peg or footboard.

A horn button located anywhere other than near your normal hand position, on the bar, is really not convenient nor safe, in my opinion of course.

Do you burn your hand on the horn button on the head?  :wink:

This Swedish base control manufacture allows you to pick different confĂ­es of switches and buttons.  I set the config up for kill and start.  The other side is rocker for logging and shift arm.  One button will be manual shift and the other a scramble button. Unfortunately they do not come with clutch switch.  http://www.isrbrakes.se/

That is quite the set of hand controls!
