The Wolo is indeed a very loud horn, but it is plastic with chrome plating. I have only had mine for two years, and most all of the chrome has come off. Looks like chit. I am thinking about painting it, but then again, it would offset the look of the bike.

Do cars have air horns? Not mine, and they're loud.
I mounted 2 FIAMM Freeway Blasters (hi and low tone) on my Ultra and they're loud too and get people's attention. They cost less than a Stebel or similar air horns, they're smaller and they work perfectly. My advise is to add a relay to the wiring.

Frenchbiker I'd like to see a picture too. I bought the same horns, spent 2 hours trying to figure out a place to mount them on my Ultra. I have a Lenale fan in place of the cowbell. Mounted the horns on the front downtubes, one above the other. Checked the clearance but forgot the fender moves up when you hit a bump. Now I have a dent in my fender where it hit one of the horns so I've taken them off. I liked the sound of the freeway blasters just can't find a place to mount them.

Here you go, guys. Pics of the 2 Freeway Blasters mounted on my Ultra. One on each side of the tank using the front tank mounts. My bike is black and the horns are black so they're not very visible. Since I took the pics, I've added 2 black hot toppers on the 1/2" tank mount bolts and I covered the wires and connectors with black shrink-wrap. The wires from the battery to the 2 horns run under the tank console and exit on the front of the console.
The connection to the handlebar switch is still behind the cowbell but the original horn is gone.

I mounted my Fiamm freeway blasters like frenchbiker. They seem to do a good job and I like the price. I wish I had a sound level meter to do a before and after test. I paid $22 with shipping from Ryder Fleet Products. I used a relay to prevent frying the horn button and stock wiring. I left the factory horn on too so I have 3 total.
