    Here are a few pics of how I mounted Rivco horns on my 800.  It's crude, I
    admit.  But it gets the job done.
    
    As you can see they rest under the tank.  The airbox has been removed.  To
    mount the compressor I used the mount that came with it and turned it 90
    degrees.  I then mounted it to the rear bolt that held the air box on.  For
    the horns them selfs I went to home depot and got some 1" wide by about
    3/16" thick.  Not positive on that but just wide enough to drill a hole and
    thick enough that it hold it's shape relatively well. I drilled a hole on
    one end and mounted the horn to it.  I then bent it to position then marked
    and drilled the center hole.  I then mounted that to the top bolt that held
    the airbox.  I thin drilled and bent the other side accordingly.  You'll
    need to take a few vise grips and actually twist the metal to get the right
    horn in place.  Once you have everything in position.  Mount the tank.  The
    horns will press against the tank but not to worry.  There is Styrofoam on
    the bottom of the tank.  It's a tight fit but it keeps the horns from
    vibrating or rubbing on anything and making unnecessary noise.
    
    If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to contact me.
