Default AirHorns question

I'm sure someone has upgraded to air horns? If so whats a good "loud" set with pump wiring and somewhat compatable with RK? Would like a small air tank with some bit of reserve or what ever that small tank does!
Thanks all,
Gary

Check out J&P's catalog. I helped a friend put a set on a heritage softail. The air tank goes where your old horn is now. The horn cover covers the tank. They are easy to install and are extremely loud. Can't remember the name of them but he got them from J&P.

Go to this web site. I've heard that these are pretty loud.

I love my air horns, easy install, compressor fitts where old horn was and they are plenty loud.

I think the ones from J&P are Howard's too. They look the same as the ones in the above picture and on the Howard's website.

Man I just heard Howard's little Big Horn on a Kawasaki yesterday - It was loud and looked okay - I can't imagine how loud the twin set up is

Check this out, I heard them on a bike before and the sound like a real truck airhorn. Way louder than Howard horns. there is a link on the page that lets you hear them. this is what I will be buying.
