RE: Horn Question

Am I the only one that never uses their horn? I tried it when I got the bike. A few times riding through tunnels, and when I swapped the horn cover, and that's it. Weird, I guess. When are you guys using your horn? LOL Anyways, I saw the install of the mini beast in American Bagger. Seems easy enough to do... good luck with whatever horn ya get.

RE: Horn Question

I "had"a Wolo Chrome Bad Boy. It broke so I sent it back. I want to mount train tone air horns. I am thinking behind saddle bags. Anybody done it yet?

RE: Horn Question

I saw some pics, on the forum, where someone had buggle horns mounted behind their bags. Looks good. I can't remember who, but I know their is a kit out there.

RE: Horn Question

I wanted to get away from the cow bell look so I went with the Rivco dual trumpet air horn. It is loud and I think it looks good (subjective) .

I read a while back that someone fit a stebel horn underneath their cowbell horn cover? If so which one fits and is there pictures out there to see how this looks? Thanks in advance.

I prefer the look of the stock cowbell. I bought one of these http://www.twistedthrottle.com/image...view/2137/298/stebel air horns. These are the same horns the HD and the mini-beast use. I separated the plastic horn from the compressor, ground just a tad off the bottom flare and it fit right under the cowbell being totally hidden. Got some rubber fuel line hose and a plastic elbow fitting to connect it to the compressor and mounted it in the cavity under my seat running the fuel line between the horn and the compressor.. Wired the the relay and fuse direct to the battery and used the the stock wiring ( which uses the the stock horn button) to fire the relay .Total cost around $55. Good and LOUD!!
