LOL !! that one's been around forever, depending on context it could used as a descriptor for good or bad.

For what it's worth take a look at the bone stock horns & mount locations on a 17 or later bike, stock horn on those will wake the dead. Freaked me a bit first time I used mine.

They've been using that horn since 2014, my 2015 FLHTK crapped out on me yesterday. I guess after 60,000 miles I shouldn't complain. I'll just use the same one again.

chrome is an option if you look. Quite loud even without a relay.

LMAO...... It must be a city thing because sayings like "**** the bed" and '**** up" have been around forever.

I agree on the 17's horn. It's much louder than my previous bikes.

That Wo Lo design is quite common for small air horns. Stebel makes a 139db one. I've gone through four of the Stebel & Wo Lo horns on my previous bike. I think they just eventually fail from the weather. But they are easy to swap out. I went with the Custom Dynamics Mini Beast on my FLHTK. Less than a year on it and so far so good.

you liken “**** the bed” to “pull the trigger?”

pull the the trigger is an accurate idiom because you are usually focused on something, deciding, and then you “pull the trigger” I’ve no idea what crapping your quilt signifies... unless it is a morbid and crude reference to post-mortim deification.
