Ummm. I wouldn't call what came in the package "Directions" per se. It was a little piece of paper with some lines on it running from different parts of the horn to the relay, etc. Made NO sense to me. However, hubby is an electrical engineer and I gather that anyone who knows electrical diagramming could figure it out.
We did have to create a bracket. This horn is so much bigger than the stock horn that it would not attach the same way. We were able to use the same anchor point, though.
Used an angle bracket (about 3" each leg, with two holes already in both legs) from Home Depot. Basic 1/2 inch wide galvanized(?) metal. Bent the angle to about 85 degrees (tighter than 90). Cut one leg off just at the first hole, used the longer leg as the anchor point for the included relay.
One reason I LOVE "Tech days" that my club has. I could have taken the horn to a Tech Day session, and someone who HAS a clue could have helped me figure it out. We've had 'electrical' tech days where folks bring all the auxilliary lighting and switches, etc. for help with installation.
As a last resort, I'm sure that whomever you pay to do work on your bike could do the install.
