Default New Air Horn/Chrome
Hey all:

I just added the Howard's Horns duo air horn to replace the "wimpy" factory horn. What do you all think of the looks?

Thanks,

Starman

They are loud. I put one on my bike, took it off, put it back on and took it off. I tried, but just didn't like it. Works great on the boat though.

Looks good, what does the horn compare to? A car or 18 wheeler?
Need one around here to get the attention of all the blue hair q tips and teens text messaging.

I like it. I assume the compressor is behind the factory horn cover?

I like the looks of the air horn - do you still need the cowbell?

I have the larger ones and had to modify the bracket to move it back off my lowers. Hit the button and the whole world wakes up. Saved my A$$ a couple of times.

They are VERY loud. The Compressor mounts behind the cowbell. I had someone hook up the wiring for me because I'm not too keen on the electrical stuff. Took about 30 minutes to install.

I like it. What did it run you with install and all? If you don't want to be exact, give me a ball park figure.
