IMO I'd pass on this one.&nbsp\\; Ran its twin sister the Stebel Natucuis and it was a POS.&nbsp\\; Has the same db rating. Fell appart at the plastic to compressor seem.&nbsp\\; And it won't get into a diesel p/u with a guy running the a/c, listen to the radio, talking on the cell and smoking a cig all the same time.
&nbsp\\;
Pass on this one. Get real twin trumpet air horns with tank, compressor, air solonoid, psi sw and MORE db's.......

I've started covering the horn when I see a cager that looks like they may turn in front of me.

I put one on my Ultra a year ago. I made my own mounts and put it behind the right saddle bag. I connected the relay up to the original horn. When you hit the button, both horns sound off, and talk about heads turning to see where the freight train is at.

I tried a few options and found that no one in front of me could hear them, especially on the Ultra behind the lowers..allit does is scare the **** outta me when I press the button..

I went back to stock horn and just shoot them instead

I just put the Chrome Bad Boy on and it's pretty loud and looks good. You do have to run a couple wires and the relay which they give you even though the adds on e-bay say it just plugs in.

Some have broken the horn apart from the compressor and hidden the compressor under the side-panel. Horn then goes under the cowbell.

Rivco - this has saved my bacon several times this summer! Truly PRICELESS investment. 128dbs, good instructions, very easy to install, installed in about 90 minutes, and I'm slow and very picky. 07 RKC
