so I finally wired up my horn
I was getting sick of giving people a strong look....a horn is necessary or the all hailed Chicago salute.
So this is what I did. Used the old ring some new wire, solder,and a 14g connector, bingo! Figured I'd take some pics.

sure they do
this is actually a UrS4 wheel. It has a horn just needs to be modified to beep. See the stock wheel uses a setup where from the column there is a spring loaded connection that then makes contact with a circular contact pad(pictured in my original post), from the circular pad, the wire then runs inside the wheel. Once the wire is inside the wheel (on both stock and S2/RS2/UrS4 and probably all wheels to my knowledge) the contact is made current when you press down allowing the circuit to be completed.
See the problem is that the S2/RS2/UrS4 wheel has the spring loaded conector on the wheel itself vs. being on the column. So a contact position needs to be made.
This is actually only a temporary thing for me. I am getting a new hub with a canceling tab for the wheel, so once I get that I will then make a real ring that is more attached. This ring from my stock wheel is just positioned on there. Once I get my new hub I will drill two small screws to stabilize the ring around the hub bore.
