I use a pair of Freeway Blaster horns (low and high tone). They sound just like my pickup truck. I mounted one right where the stock horn went. I mounted the second one just below on the forward engine mount. I had to install a relay due the the current draw of the two horns. If you want an easier install, you could install a single Freeway Blaster (choose High or Low tone), and use stock wiring.

What are these Low Rider guys doing in the Sport Glide forum anyway? I think they wish they got a different bike.

Is this it for a single?

FIAMM 72112 Freeway Blaster Low Note Horn FIAMM 72112 Freeway Blaster Low Note Horn

It says it draws up to 6 amps.

Yes, that is just one. Just one is still a lot louder than the stock horn.
