I installed the Mini-Beast Air Horn and it works quite well. Very loud!

Both work and look good Brian but both will shake like he!! at idle.

Right after Blue got her deluxe I was taking it out for a test ride. At an intersection there was a lady in a SUV talking on her cell. She tried to turn left in front of me coming the other direction. I hit the air horn.

I also about dropped the bike laughing so hard cause I never saw anyone fling their cell phone and jump so high in my life.

Yup... they work great.

Mine doesn't shake much at all. Maybe tighten yours up a bit more? Very happy with my horn except the slots in the cover could have been designed to be centered better.

Howards Horns rock! Almost killed (from shock) an old gray hair that started changing lanes into me. I think he thought I was a Semi. He got back into his own lane real quick.

The Mini-Beast wires directly to the battery, so it's never starved for power. The original horn button is wired to the new relay and installation is straight forward. Blows the stock horn away by a mile.

I agree, have HHs on my WG and they are great.

Anyone have the new Howards that fit ultras with lowers? looking at the picture, they fit above the cowbell. with the rubber mount, i wonder if they risk hitting the fuel tank.
