Horns
My turn to ask a goofy question, but it's something I really would like to know. I'm looking for a place to hang a breather and the space taken up by the Custom's big chrome horn is in the way. I kind of like where they hid the 883 horn, but wondering if the sound is as effective. The Custom's horn is pretty authorative for a bike horn and not sure I want to end up with a "beep-beep" horn, if you know what I mean.
Has anyone ever heard the two, side by side, and how does the horn used on the 883 mount?
Thanks.

RE: Horns
Haven't heard them side by side but would think that mounting it in front would actually project the sound better than from the side. I believe the the 883's don't use a cover over the horn either so you'd get more volume if it's the same horn.

Ron,
The big chrome thing is just a cover, you can take it off and the horn's still there. Actually if you can mount the actual horn (its not that big) in front then you could probably hide the breather behind the horn cover.
Just a thought.

RE: Horns
The 1200R's horn sucks IMHO. It's the beep-beep type. I'm thinking of getting the H-D Air Horn to get some umph. Here in Cali we don't lay on the horn all that much, but when I do i want them to hear me.
