    Default DOES ANYONE KNOW?

    Where the horn is located on a 2017 RTS, and how easy/hard it is to get to and replace?

    2017 ??
    Not sure. I'm assuming it's the same as my 2014, which is under the left access panel. The one behind the wheel with the rubber grommets.
    If it ain't broke, don't break it.

    Default Not sure....

    From the wiring diagram it looks to be on the right side, looks to be behind that lower panel. Now it does not show the panels etc but that is where to look for it....

    I agree with Gene. Looked at a '17 and found they moved it to the opposite side.

    So it would appear that no matter which side it is on, it is relatively easy to get to and change. Many thanks to all.

    So am I. The sale should be finalized early this week, then another week or 10 days to ship it to me from imotorsports and pick up "The White Lemon." I'll be glad to see it gone, but no one will be happier than Val. And as it's been said, "If Momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy."

    Early 2017s are actually visible, behind the left hand pop off panel.
    (this is how you will know if it's early/late)


    the horn exchange on these could not be easier.

    Other location ? not sure, because mine was early, thank goodness.

    Default Horn Location late models

    Mounted center of frame you need to remove the skid plate and then left panel behind it lookup it's there. Thats left from the front bumper or right from the seat. On mine I extended my wires and mounted it behind the left service panel setting on the seat. I left the old horn in place in case its needed again.

    Nicely done.
    Now you'll have NO excuse not to go riding with me.

    You're comments remind me of my feelings towards one of my ex-wives.
