Hello Jerry
Are you asking about how to do it on an aircooled VW or in general? There is no relay involved in the horn circuit in ACVWs (at least not with T1s).
In Beetles the horn +-side takes constant voltage from the fuse box. The - side goes to the switch in the steering wheel, which grounds the circuit when pressed. No relays needed. Following diagram shows the circuit (H = horn switch, H1 = horn):

Here is a simple diagram after a quick google search

Nowadays I install the horns inside of the trunk for protection from the elements as per one person's suggestion. BUT you don't have a trunk in the front of your trike. ;-)
Thanks for the help everyone. Now I know why I couldn't find the relay !!! DUH ain't one , I just assumed every car had one. Ya learn something every day.
