    I'm capable of cutting and welding It but I wanted that to be my really really last resort.Wasent sure if there were clever ways of fixing this without cutting. I did use a big deck screw with some vice grips.I kept turning the screw until It grabbed onto either the stem screw thread or the...

    Thanks.Since fenders aren't original to the bike I think I may sand and repaint them,looks like they have been painted a couple of times.Its a shame who ever did the re paint on the fenders,bars and rear rack didn't even take anything apart.There's metallic paint over spray every wheres.

    Thats what I figured,find some cheap horn with a sound I like and be happy.The button has the wires and all just nothing else,ill try using the button.If not ill bag,label and shelf it for safe keeping.
