How to separate a Bad Boy horn?

I recently bought a Bad Boy horn and cant find a way to mount it where it looks decent. I saw several where it was mounted on the side of the motor but that's not for me. I also have read where you can separate the compressor from the horn itself but I cant find anything that shows how. A video would be awesome but if no video at least a good description would help. :ummm:

Do you have this one:

If so it says it an all-in-one design so I seriously doubt it can be separated without some cutting.
But you could look into mounting it to the frame somewhere close to where the stock horn mounts.
Something like this:

If you are a user of COPs you have a bracket and space to mount the compressor from which you can run a hose down to noise maker mounted in an appropriate location that will get the space invading offenders immediate and rapt attention!

I mounted mine in the original location using a piece of flat steel that I bent to shape in a vice.It fits in between head pipes and has worked fine for better than 2 years now.I really don't think It looks bad at all.You don't even notice it unless you look for it.

If you are the lazy type, and have money to spare, they market the same horn already in two pieces just for this very reason. And the nipples connecting the two halves are of proper quality so as to maintain a good connection of the tubing between the pump and horn sections. I bought one to install on Shala's Rune a while back.

The one time I attempted to separate a Wolo type horn, I ended up breaking it where the nipple glued into the pump.

I mounted my air horn on the upper LH fork but luckily I have a fairing to hide it behind. Sorry this is no help for you................One thing about these Vmaxs, there's no room to hide anything on them.

I'd just make a Bracket and mount it above the Oil Filter like the horns in the guide I linked.
