Please have a look at the horn bracket.  Is it the correct factory bracket?  What do the horn mounts look like?

You need to pick the photo URL, not the gallery URL.  With Chrome or Firefox, right click on the image and 'Copy image URL' or 'Copy image location'.  In all cases, it should end with something like .jpeg or .jpg
 
Here's a pic.
You have the correct bracket.
The horns should come with the spring steel mounts (from the horns to this bracket).

The last set of Voxbells (reproduction, mind you) that I bought from Wolfgang did not come with the brackets.

Hi Chris

looked at the original post photos and went whew...... I see an engine still in the frame, a front end still on, and no sandblasting done as yet..... I haven't gotten back to dealing with head stock frame bracing details yet, I may have to attempt to delegate that project to you, if you can dig up specs, and then MotoV can make the bearing recess plugs and CAD the pieces required for laser cutting....

for the horns, you have to have those multi ply mounting springy thingys, I have tried hard mounting the horn on a Laverda, it does not work, at least not for very long.... Wolfgang has them.

Well, I have been a bit busy with work and family activities.  This weekend the motor comes out.  I will take on the headstock-bracing project.  I want to see a few more photos first.
 
The horn to bracket mounting is achieved with what I would describe loosely as spring steel blades laminated together. They come as a set.

In my experience, the only ones that last to any extent are the oe ones. Pattern blades are in short, rubbish and work harden and fail after a ridiculously short life.  I have lost a horn for eternity and saved one by dint of learning the lesson and a strategically  positioned zip tie.

Whatever you do, Use a strong Zip tie as insurance . One of those horns flying off at speed on the motorway could be very nasty indeed..

Hacksaw and a file, make a cardboard template then cut the steel. Takes less time than measuring the angles and imputing them into CAD. Not a complicated job.....

you don't need a horn on a laverda if your riding it properly

put them on the shelf, they are useless and will fall off no matter what you do
