Revco Air Horn Installation

Here are the pics of my custom made mount and finished air horn installation.

That looks great.
I'd love to add more noise but my bikes "2 lower so I'm thinking I'd grind those puppy's off to a nub in no time.

Pretty creative work. Thanks for the pictures

It's all about size.

I've found my loud pipes are ignored by many cagers. I think it isbecause theyare bigger than me. However, myair horn will make them pull the cell phone out of their ear and look for the semi.

Remember, they let everyonehave a license to drive... Stupid is not a discriminator.

Even mounted behind my lowers, they scare the bejesus out of cagers not paying attention [:-][:-][:-]

Yeah, and I'm getting paranoid lately. After 41 years riding and only very rarely being run off the road, I've had cagers merge in on me three times in the past two weeks--one running me in the opposing lane (nobody there), one into a turn lane (also nobody there), and yet another onto the shoulder. In each case these Rivco horns got their attention enough to make a difference before they went too far. Now I'm thinking about other ways to make myself visible, like this:

My modulating headlight doesn't seem to be enough for mindless and/or blind drivers, so maybe this illuminated moulding will make the bike more visible. Not sure what else to do.
