Got tired of the noise from the left horn vibrating at idle.

Solved the problem by inserting a thick rubber washer between the end of the horn bracket and the headlamp stay on one end and between the bracket and horn body on the other end. Repeated on the right side too. Vibration gone.

I found replacement washers for gardenhoses worked perfectly!

Its a good idea to make sure the horns are not in contact with the fairing as well.

Tschuess!

Must be the weight of the cold weather kit - the horns on my K don't touch anything but their own brackets...

I was going to say that neither of mine make any noise either till I hit the button. Laughing
