Life Saver Horn Lever
I was able to obtain a free Life Saver Horn lever to try out.
It's a nice concept but unless your grips are about 5"+ long (grab area), the screw assembly on the hose clamp makes for an uncomfortable grip/ride.
If they could figure out a way to have a somewhat smooth mounting device to secure the lever to the grip it may be a worth while investment.
I tried sending the company a PM but I have not heard back from them and the original thread has been locked.
BTW - I'm using Avon Contoured Grips on my SG.

They told me I was too late, but got one anyway.
Will update when I try it out.
At first sight, it looks like a lot of plastic to have on your grip area.
I suppose if you don't care about looks, it could be ok.
I just like to keep my bars clean and neat as much as possible, and
this is going to stick out like a sore thumb.

Or announcing to the windshield that it, the bug, is there. Or in motorcycle/cage terms, the motorcycle letting the cage know it is there. Useless if the motorcycle waits until a crash is imminent, but possibly a life saving action if the motorcycle rider has enough situational awareness to 'announce' his presence before things are about to 'hit the fan'?

I have fat grips and moved the switch to the right and mounted the gizmo on the handlebar, instead of the grip. I also used the little black hose clamp included in the box instead of the included clamp that looks better. A useless addition if someone depends on loud pipes to make noise. But for anyone that values a horn, for any reason, this is a worthwhile addition, IMO.
