Default Love my Mini Beast II

So last summer my factory horn, sounds like a bicycle bell "ring ring", died. After a great deal of debate and talking it over with the wife I decided to go with the Mini Beast II for many reasons the biggest being it was ready to hang on to the factory location and wiring it in was a snap. I have on a few occasions had opportunity to express my self with it and it always amuses me how fast cagers straighten up when I push the button. Had one guy that followed me around and apologized profusely, he stated that he rides too and just flat didn't see me, said when I blasted it that he turned and was looking for a car. I laughed and said that I do my best to be seen and if I'm not seen I will be heard. Today though I was giving it quite the work out two different times on the way to work I had to inform people that it was my space and not theirs. I just love the fact that this little monster is so loud! I know it's still winter and it is still dark in the morning and all but man these knuckle heads have got to do better about paying attention!

...I have the Mini-Beast Air Horn 4 and its loud. Two things that I must have on my bike before anything else...the Mini Beast Air Horn and the Bright *** Tail Light. I want to be seen and heard. Loud Horns saves Lives...

i agree on the bright *** light. i keep mine set at the brightest taillight setting and the annoyingly bright flashing brake light setting. i figure that if it keeps a 23 year old kid from rear ending me, then it's done the job i bought it for. i have a mini beast horn also but haven't mounted it yet. they're so loud that i'm going to install one on my late model dodge pickup too. 40 bucks at pep boys, and you can get them also at harbor freight for cheap.

I'm up to three for the day. On my way to a friends house to fix their PC and as I'm cruising down the street this knot head pulls up to his stop sign and the car that's a ways in front of me goes by then this moron starts to go. I grab brake and horn all at the same time and I let him have a good long blast from the horn the jack *** scared the crap out of me I thought I was done for sure cause I don't think I could have stopped in time but he got the message.

Man, I have to change my horn. Still have the stocker, and it's useless. Have seen some other threads on the Mini Beast. Gonna search and check on installation. Easy?

Just got the new minibeast 1 and installed it. Took all of 20 minutes. Definitely a step up from stock...but then a clown horn taped the handle bars is also a step up from stock.
