I see there's 2 types, A fancy one and a smaller one with a wider space between the fans.
The fancy one looks tight, but the other one looks like it might work.
Yes/No/Maybe?

The mounting brackets on a Mini Beast just don't line up with the rubber mount for the horn. You'd have to drop the mini beasts down about 3 or 4 inches with a straight bracket and mount it much lower and to me it looks ridiculous there.

I customized my mounting bracket to fit my wolo horn. Now I have the newer HD horn. Both fit fine. Not sure of the dimensions of the MB2 horn but just sharing in the event you can make it work.

Installing with the wolo is totally different than installing the mini beast, which is a wolo with a cover on it. The wolo is mounted inside the cover and has a different bracket system to mount to the rubber stud. And honestly I'm not a fan of the way The Wolo looks on the bike. I originally did it that way years ago but the plastic on the wolo wears off and scratches easily.

Thanks for the explanation of the MB horn.

I hate anything plastic so I removed the wolo although mine was still in excellent condition. Installed a HD loud side mount horn and 2017 touring horn cover....very loud, comparable to the wolo but much better looking.

Regarding Mini-Beast horns, there are some Love Jug Customers that have used the MB with the LJ's. Give BuyLoveJugs.com an email or a call at (346-800-7946) and they will be able to give you some options.

Thanks HSCIC. Are you happy with the loudness of the newer loud horn replacement ? I installed my mini beast with the mighty mites but I'm not really happy with the look. Prefer a cleaner line like yours. thanks

They are surprisingly very loud....louder than I expected. IMO comparable to the bad boy wolo air horn. Perhaps I need a sound vid of the horn....if I do, I will post on my love jugs thread.

Check out this thread - post #52 for vid of horn
Deleted sound vid - did not even sound like the horn and did not do it justice.

It's not even close to the loudness of the wolo, minibeasts, stebel Air horns. If you think they are the same then you Wolo was not hooked up properly with a relay because it is much much louder.
