Default Horn ideas?

So, I relocated my coil to where the horn was and got a basic horn that I mounted on the front legs of he frame that hasn't worked after the third beep. I see DK Customs seeks the Wolo but never heard one in person. What's the consensus on the wolo? I figured if I got it I would pick up their mounting bracket and move the horn to the bottom of the frame right before the swingarm, but I'm looking for other ideas. Got any?

I moved my stock horn to the rock/splash guard.

I installed two horns behind headlight bezel. One on each side of steering head set. They squeeze in perfectly and face down, where it is open underneath. Their are bolts on each side to mount an L bracket for horns.

kuma,

Any pics of this set up? Where did you find horns that fit? I like the idea of a de-cluttering the bike.

I'm a huge fan of the Steibel air horn. Mine's almost 2 years old and still ear splitting loud. Cheap on ebay.

Here's my install thread with video. I've seen guys mount them on the front frame rails too.

Always wondered just how much air it blocks. However, see it there now on new Harleys. Never cared too much for the horn bell on the smaller Harley's. Looks Ok on big cruisers. When you removed the coil, did you remove the seat post?

Default Horn ideas?

I made a little bracket to attach it to an unused tapped hole behind the clutch cover. Took a couple tries but I made it work. The attached pic was my aluminum prototype bracket for test fitting. I remade it with steel for my permanent install.
