Default BJ horns

I'm thinking about replacing my Howards Horns. Nothing wrong with the sound other than there's so much weight hanging off the mount that they rattle a little too much at low to mid rpms. With the compressor up under the seat it looks like BJ's might have a little less weight to be tossed around via engine vibration. Is that a good way to go or are there some other options I should look at? I don't mind the dual horn look and what I want is lots of noise whenitneeds to be deployed. Thanks!

I've got a set of the Kuryakyn hidden horns on backorder that should ship sometime this month. Thought that you might want to check these out too, here's a link:

I've got tht BJ's horns and they are probably same as yours with the exception of a piece of hose going from the horns to under the seat. Yours has the compressor under the cowbell if I'm thinkin' correctly. (I looked up Howards and I think mine look better IMHO) and the guys at BJ's are great to deal with.

Do your BJS horns vibrate and rattle much? My Howard Horns are nice, but you have the compressor, horns, braided hose and original cowbell cover hanging off a heavy mount held on by a single rubber cusioned bolt. All that weight tends to get tossed around quite a bit. I can live with the rattle, but if BJS horns are better in that regard, I might just switch. Thanks.

They shake with the enginebut they do not rattle. They have not come loose or rotated on the bolt either. No problems whatsoever.
