Default Louder horn?

Any recommendations for a horn that is louder then the OEM unit?

Old story....drivers with windows up, radio on, cell phone in had/to ear etc. I've installed an air horn from a KW in my pick-up which really helps but I don't think that it would fit in/on the Low-rider.

Thank,

Ray

I can't remember where I saw the video, maybe on here.

Stock pipes were ~85-90dB, stock horn was ~95-100dB. The bassani RR3 was ~110-120dB.

*EDIT*
Found more accurate information. Stock Horn is about ~100-110dB. The pipe tested was Bassani RR2 Mega Power.

I once asked this question and got yelled at. WTF do you need a horn for? You should be taking evasive action instead of hitting a horn button. Etc.

I installed the standard HD horn in the same place as the pancake beeper that the LR and LRS comes with, regardless of opinions otherwise. Plenty loud enough for me. And like $30 with no wiring change needed.

I use it mostly to wake people up who are asleep when the light turns green...

Thunderheader..... Pull clutch and twist throttle. Your hands are already in position, no need to waist valuable seconds searching for that stupid little button you can never find when you want it. Half the time when you go looking for it in a hurry you hit the wrong one anyway and end up trying to start a running bike.
