Would be nice if they would make the lines match the cyl so it would blend in better IMHO.

It looks great but I wish someone would (could) make and good air horn with a built-in engine cooling fan.

Nicer than the Wolo I've got, but mine was free. Maybe when I save the 2 bills, I'll get one of those.

It's an air horn, to hopefully save your ***, because the stock horn aint worth st!t.

I've seen they make several cover models. Anyone know if they are all the same horn underneath.

Anyone run of these long term? 5 lbs seems like a lot to hang off that tab.
A horn upgrade is definitely on my to do list...

I too have one of these. MUCH louder than stock. If I am correct. Stock is 79 dbs and the Mini is 128 dbs. By all means not a Diesel Truck or Train sounding horn, but for sure much more noise. As far as being heard, it works better. But Trust me, you still have to watch those cagers. My bike is real bright and they still (cagers) can't see it.
They are too busy texting, talking, putting on make up, reading, shaving, etc, or just plain no respect for two wheelers.
As far weight, they are kinda heavy, I have heard that some folk have had their bracket break, the ones that have broke seem to happen in the winter months. So be careful and keep an eye on it.

Ride Safe.
