Default Mini Beast Installed.....
I installed the Mini Beast this weekend, we all know the stock horn sucks. I am still undecided whether I like to looks of the horn even after I put the HD Logo Medallion on the face.
I may be undecided on the looks but I feel more confident the cagers will hear me now. I try to ride in a defensive manner but the horn will help when necessary.
There are other means to a louder horn, but I chose this for the ease of installation and the warranty.

Horn cover sucks....move your horn down to the inside of fairing lower and put in a LeNale fan where the horn was (works for me).

Screw the Lanale fan (crap: my personal opinion). Go with a fan system that blows the Lanale away. Check out HD Forums sponsor Jason Wards FCS. With Jasons dual fan system and his fan/ horn mount you can keep your Mini Beast where it is and have the best cylinder head cooling system available anywhere. Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I think your horn cover looks fine.

How does the horn sound? Is it significantly louder than stock?

I have one and yes it is way louder then stock. It's an air horn, sounds like a Peterbilt truck horn.

The stock horn does suck and definitely needs to be upgraded!
