I dont have one yet, but I think that "Howard's Horns" look good. Appears to be easy install. Air compressor behind the cowbell. Don't go w/ the small one though. Dynamic Duo has a wonderfully loud tone which will be sure to send a cell phone to a cage floor during its lifetime.

Don't know if you care for the look or not but a few of us are using this.Steble
The compressor slips off the horn and you can hide it under the seat. Mount the horn part under the cowbell. The sucker is WAY loud!

HD also has a new one that is plug & play no compressor mounting or lines to run. Dunno how much $ it is and it isnt the bugle shape of some of the others mentioned. Looks more like a chrome car horn.

Check out the Mini Beast, its on the Pro pad site. Benefit other than being LOUD is that the compressor is part of the main horn body therefore no need to find extra space to hide it. Fixes straight onto original horn bracket. Just need to run some wire from the battery.

I have one on my Road King Classic.

Howard's Horns! They look great, they are easy to install and they are LOUD. Best $150 I've spent yet. You only need them one time to make them a bargain...
