I don't often use my horn but when I do...the stock unit on my 2005 Fatboy was simply weak and anemic.

In steps the Custom Dynamics Mini-Beast air horn. The thing is loud, very loud !!!

Installed the unit Sunday morning and had a chance to use it later in the day. It was very crowded on the roads leading down to the beach, as it was a very hot day. I was following 3 riders as we were splitting the slow-moving traffic....about 10 to 15 feet apart. Suddenly, some guy on and electric lightning comes flying up on the wrong side of the road and attempts to cut into our group and jump in front of me. I hit the mew horn and I thought the guy was going to have a coronary attack. He backed out and stayed way behind. I like my new horn.

I picked up the round chrome version, as it is the same size and shape of my air cleaner. Gotta keep things balanced and aesthetically pleasing.

Very nice and have been looking for a louder horn in case I run into you on the road. CD website does not show chrome cover and can't find it elsewhere. Where did you buy yours?(Tks)

Fitted the new police seat and post fitting ...... absolute pig as aftermarket just don't like playing ..... put teh chrome frame cover on and not impressed ... why they decide to cut it short at the sides so electrics aren't covered is just sloppy.

So will have to think of something better

Just the firestones to get fitted when the new rims come back from the wheel builder

I picked it up from Amazon a few weeks back...

looks like this version is out of stock now.

Amazon Amazon

Custom Dynamics has great customer service. I have chatted with them on occasion. If you are looking for this model...give em a call and see what is up.

Rebuilt my S&S carb. Changed spark plug wires. Melted my microfiber towel I was using to wipe prints off my air cleaner on my rear pipe.

Made the Mistake of stopping in Osborn's Cycle Shop today, never a good idea when I have cash in my pockets. I found a great buy on a brand new seat, and after the big improvement in ride with the Commander II Michelin on the rear, decided to put one on the front.

Have to go to South Haven to pick my annual stock up on Blueberries tomorrow, but will post picks later this week of the new parts in real time! I winder if there will come a time I can walk in their without finding things the bike has have?
