We put smaller horns off that tab all the time when doing Coil Relo's
OK, that's good to know. I didn't think it would fit either from the pics I've seen of them mounted on the side of bikes.

How loud are the smaller horns? I really like the mini beast (the volume and tone). I am rattling my brain trying to figure out where I could possibly mount it.

Doing more research I see that the mini beast is basically a WOLO horn with a nice fancy cover.'it looks like the WOLO horn is much smaller (only about 5" wide and 2 1/2" deep) so I'm thinking it may fit in between the down tubes on the up part of the frame.

Ive seen people mount the horn behind the tranny, Ill try to find the thread for it. I removed the cover on mine and mounted it on the down tube. Blends in nice. I will be doing the springer horn there cause it looks better.

Have you seen anyone mount the WOLO, Stebel or Min in Beast between the down tubes or behind the tranny? I did know I could mount the stock horn on the down tubes but its useless to me. Lol I would just remove my horn all together if I can't get an air horn mounted somewhere. Its seems that most just mount it right where the stock horn mounts but that's where my coil will be going.

Remove your charcoal canister behind the tranny (its the size of a can of soup) and you can put it there.

Isn't that where people mount the compressor for shotgun shock?

Also, how would I got about getting to it? Do I need to remove wheels or anything like that?

Cant help you there. Thats an on the spot call not having done it. Maybe start a thread on asking how to mount a horn behind the tranny.
