Default Horn??

Anyone know if you can power the relay to a Farbin type airhorn from the heated gear connection?

Its a lot louder than my Sportsters horn. The sporty horn sounds goofy. . .

Back in the day I wired a Rivco airhorn direct to the battery on my FXDF with the relay on the original horn circuit. Man, was that EFFER loud!

10 days later, the bike and horn were 4 feet underwater from Superstorm Sandy. Maybe do another one on my RK someday....
