Default New Mini Beast install

Will arrived yesterday and would have been about a 15 min install if I would have read the directions more carefully. My real problem came when trying to figure out how the new horn actually attaches to the original bolt. I admit I'm slower than most but it took me some time to figure out that the supplied spacer "actually has to be screwed" onto the existing bolt then twecked back into the new horn bracket and tightened up. The instructions were not that clear only saying to "place" the spacer between the new horn bracket and the exsisting bolt. Anyway got it figured out and it is LOUD. Cant really give it a real workout until it stops raining here in Texas.

You will like it. I think it is a great addition to any bike with all of the close calls out there.

I'd like to get one but I'd have to see the cover for the MB 5 in person before I'd buy it. Something to look into in the spring.

I put one on my SG a few months back and I love it. Sometimes I scare myself with it when I forget just how loud it is! Worth every penny I spent for it. Plan to put one on my Fat Boy down the road. Great horn!!!

I put one on my bike a few weeks ago (#2 model). Loud, and find myself tapping it way out in the country to **** off the old lady when she's riding with me
