Default Air Horns, which are you guys using?

Really want a set ofr air horns on the 05 FLHT. They look cool, and if I can be heard better, bonus. Howard's Horns makes a nice looking setup, and I'm pretty sure Kuryakyn makes something, along with hundreds of others. I'm looking for good looks, sound, and ease of installation.

I added the new Harley Davidson Air Horn to my new 2010 StreetGlide. Nice looking and compact size, plenty loud, and reasonably priced. Just didnt want the long trumpets. Check it out.

Check out the mini-beast. Super loud, looks great easy install quality. I have the older square box design...put a Harley madalion on it and dealer thought it was a new HD horn.

I have the Alloy Arts air horn in the flame design. It looks good and it sounds like a truck.

Kuryakyn makes a horn that looks like an air horn but isn't. I'm not sure if they have added an air horn to their inventory.

Stibel, you can check them out at bikerhiway on ebay or go to there site. Loud, had Howards and they give you a bit of retro with good sound. I just got tired of how big they were.
If you go with the Stebel, you can separate the compresser from the unit and place the trumpets under the cowbell. Do a search on here and there are pic's if you decide you want to check it out.

Why air horn? Electromagnetic horns can be loud too. I have 2 FIAMM Freeway Blasters (hi-low tone) on my Ultra and they're much much louder than the stock horn and not far from a Stebel Nautilus. They're smaller too and don't need a compressor.
2 Freeway Blasters with a dedicated plug and play relay harness cost me less than 60 bucks.
I'm just saying.....
