How do you remove the stock horn?

HyperstradaHopeful · Feb 15, 2014

Looks like it's held in by rivets or something. No screws. Anyone have any idea how to get it out of there?

I see a nut on the right of that picture. Undo that, drop it out, and there should be a screw behind the horn. Re and re after that.

There is a bolt. When you look a bit to the left of where the black taped part of the electrical wire ends and gets 2 single wires. You see the threaded end of the bolt.
A bit tricky to access.

That's a bolt that's screwed in from the back? Are you sure? Looked a lot like a smooth flush head. I'll head to go back down and take an even closer look with a flashlight.

Why would the bolt be screwed in from the back and not the front where it's more easily accessible?

I took the horn off myself, it is the right one.
They (Ducati) mount the horn from the back. Only one bolt in stead of 4 screws and one bolt.

Has anyone replaced the stock horn with a FIAMM horn like this one: http://amzn.com/B000DINKPQ

If so, does it fit where the stock horn does without causing issues refitting the nose fairing?

TIA,
Eric

The OEM horn is in a tiny space. Your best to rewire and place somewhere else.

Yep, did that and it just (hardly) fits.
It is easier when you take the nose fearing of like the picture above.
