2. When you say "plug and play" do you mean (a) it mounts via the same mounting bolt, and (b) the electrical connection plugs right in like the stock one? If so, I'll be buying one!

1. The photos aren't super close-ups,but it Looks like you do have the ABS system. Correct?

1. I take it you simply buy the "Touring" version, which does fit our Breakouts?
2. The style you bought is the "Beveled" model?
3. Looks like the price most places is either $179 or $198, which seems like a lot for a horn, but that darn stock one is really embarrassing. What is the difference between the 2 differently priced versions? The Arlen Ness website is no help - it currently shows only one price for each style even though there seem to be many dealers whose sites show both prices avaiulable on eahc site, with no obvious explanation of the difference between the horn variants with the 2 different prices.

It looks like these Arlen Ness horns come in 2 versions, the "Sportster" version and the "Touring" version.

^^ My horn is sitting in a box in the shed with all other useless hardware. JMHO.. the "work around" is to ride offensively (vs defensively), and always assume no one can see or hear you (most all the time they don't). Once you start relying on a horn or turn signals for safety is when you get smashed. hell if someone does not hear my pipes they sure as hell are not going to hear my weenie little horn.
now, that said, if I could fabricate one of those TRAIN HORNS onto the bike somewhat stealthy, that would just be plain cool.
This guy is very creative...

Actually, this type of horn seems like it could be workable for a stealthy install.

Here in Texas, you need to get a motorcycle safety inspection annually, and the horn must be there and be in working order.
