I have the High and Low tone on my bike and I like it. I did mount the second horn behind theLS side cover and I didn't use a new relay and everything works fine.

OK, I installed the NAPA horn this weekend. 139db my azz. Doesn't sound any louder than the stock horn and you have to fuss with it to hide the wires. I took it off and will return it to NAPA.POS in MHO

I've posted many times that the stock HD horn was upgraded in 06 (maybe 05) & it's the same as the Fiamm Freeway Blaster. There is no difference in loudness or tone. The Stebel Nautilus Compact or its twin, the Wolo Bad Boy, are the way to go if you want to be noticed but do not fit under the cowbell. I installed the all chrome Wolo where the cowbell was & it looks fine. It is LOUD!

Wolo is not as loud as Stebel Nautilus

The Wolo is the Stebel Nautilus. It is repackaged under the Wolo brand. Look close at the DB ratings.

The Wolo is 118db at 4 FEET!!!!!!

The Stebel is 138DB at 4 INCHES!!!! At 2 meters the Stebel is 114DB.

They are the same horn. I've was told this by a Stebel distributer. Wolo added the full chrome version while Stebel was napping. Now Stebel is redesigning theirs to all chrome.

The Mini Beast is the Stebel with a cover. It is rated a little lower then the Nautilus because of the cover. The slots don't line up perfectly & block the sound a bit. Again, info from a distributer.

You guys with the Wolo, is there a mounting kit that comes with it when you buy it on e-bay? Looking at the pics I don's see how it mounts to the rubber mounted stud on the bike. J&P sells the Wolo for $68. Can't beat e-bay, but gotta what the shipping and handling.

I agree. I went that route and wasn't much different than the stock horn.
Since I too wanted to keep the cow bell (since I have a custom one), I went with the Kury Hidden horns. Although they are not air horns, they are plenty loud. They sound like the loud horns used in the old days on Buicks and Cads. I am very pleased with the loudness. Got them for about $126 including freight off of e-bay from American classic motors. Delivery wasn't real quick, a couple of weeks, but since I wasn't in a big hurry I saved a bunch of $.
