Yup, Mini Beast here too. Buddy of mine has a Rivco, and it's not as loud as the Mini Beast. I got mine at a Harley dealer who had a display, and I could push the button & hear it before I bought it. I don't know if dealers are carrying them, or if it was just the one dealer where I stopped.
I added 2 more horns to my bike's factory horn. From Amazon, Fiamm high / low note horns, around $25 total at the time. Mounted them on the gas tank front mounts pointing forward. Tapped them into the factory horn connection.
Now it sounds like an old Cadillac Fleetwood, plenty loud, cost effective. https://www.amazon.com/FIAMM-72112-F...low+note+horns
+1 on the Fleetwood horns!
I have a low and high tone on mine; sounds much better than the air horns on the market.
Just having the 120db which is the higher tone won't do it, like a stereo without the subwoofer.
I had to run a line from the battery with its own fuse through an additional relay that is switched by the stock horn circuit.
Well I was $250 richer before I opened this thread! The Mini Beast looks like a worthy upgrade. I had to toot my horn on my last trip and while it did get the attention of the offending driver, we were the only two vehicles on the road and I remember thinking how anemic it sounded.
I had the HD air horn...junk. I had the Howards horn. It was nice but the trumpet collected dirt. Never failed, when I would need the horn, it wouldn't work because the diaphragm was dirty. Clean it and it would work great until I really needed it again, then nothing. I have had the WOLO Bad Boy for many years. It's loud and has worked every time I hit the button. Cheap at Harbor Freight. But unfortunately as mentioned in a previous post, the chrome has peeled off and the disk cover is gone. It looks like crap but it's on my RK that I use to commute. Far from a garage queen.
I have the Rivco dual trumpet air horns. I had a young girl start to pull in front of me from the outside lane at a stop light. I laid on the horn and her cell phone came flying out the drivers window. I went by her laughing my **** off and she cussing me bad. I replaced Howards Horns with the Rivco. The Howards Horns never worked right for me. I'm thinking about taking the compressor off the Howards Horns and adding it to the Rivco so each trumpet has a compressor.
I have a dual trumpet air horn. Each trumpet has its own compressor. It was (unofficially) measured at 129 dB with a sound meter. It gets people's attention.
It was made by Les Brown of metalartsinc. The scumbag is out of business now... long story.

How did you wire the second compressor? Did you use a second relay or just run it off the same relay and wiring as the other one?
