Default Project Lo Blow
Too many times I'd be cruising along minding my own business only to have a car come drifting into MY lane. I honk, and they keep on coming! Yeah sure buddy, I'm sure you looked over your shoulder before changing lanes...

I decided to get a louder horn. My finger and Vance Hines isn't enough. I decided on Howard's Horns duals. I like the idea of the air compressor being hidden inside the stock horn cover.

It's loud and much higher pitched than the stock horn. In my research I found a video on YouTube of a guy who's got a freight train horn on his HD. He's got it hidden in saddle bags. It's ****ing hilarious to see him riding down the street with a train horn!

I'm thinking my next alternative for the next idiot is pulling out the .380! I love the idea of a train horn in a saddle bag. That may be just enough reason for me to put bags back on.

I've definitely got to find a replacement for my novelty Springer horn before I get run over and will have to check this one out.
