I think I can say, that in all my motorcycle years, I have used my horn less than a half a dozen times. Yes, I ride in traffic, yes I have been cut off, better to react than blowing my horn at someone.

Good Luck with your new horns, seems like a good deal.
I bent the bracket on mine so the bottom of the horn is directed at the cylinders. When the engine gets hot, I hold down the horn button for about five minutes, the air from the horn blast cools the cylinders ......

Are you serious? Mine make a BIG difference compared to the wimpy stock horn.

If you can pick up a cheap self-contained air horn and mount it on your saddlebag bracket, that along with the Freeway Blaster should fill your needs. Total price with air horn, relay, wire, zip ties and the Blaster should be under $80.

That way you have a horn on both sides of your bike that will rattle your teeth when you push the horn button.

As far as total decibels, I'm a retired cop not an acoustical engineer, so I can only make assumptions and wild estimates. All I can say is, if the air horn puts out a claimed 139db and the Freeway Blaster puts out a claimed 132db, exactly what's the total output together of both horns???
oh it will be allright , not the first time I bought something I was nor real impressed with and darn suse not the most expensive , it is a little louder and I do have a spair now but I think Imight get the high tone now and you did not make us get them

I just replaced the stock horn with the freeway blaster, sounds identical to the stock horn. Well now I have a spare horn.

Installed the horn this morning and without a doubt it is Much louder than stock... A really good $16.00 investment IMHO.
Thanks to the OP for the heads up.

DB's don't mean a thing unless you know how far the measurement was taken from. In this case they must've put the mic in the horn. lol

Btw, these horns were tested on this forum a few years ago. They were no louder then stock.
