Default Air horn

Thinkin about installing a "bad boy" air horn on my FXSTC. Anyone have one of these on their bike? If so, do you think its a drastic improvement over the wimpy-a** stock horn?

The Wo-Lo Bad Boy air horn is a very nice unit. If you go to their website, you can even listen to a sound clip of the horn. Just search, "bad boy air horn" and then go to the Wo-Lo website.

I don't really care for the look. There is another set of air horns that look really good on Harleys, but I'll have to find them to post.

I like the look of these, but they're kind of pricey, and I haven't heard what they sound like.

Look for the Mini-Beast Pro-Pad. They have several different cool covers to go with the horn.'I have the Mini-Beast II and love the looks and sound. Everybody comments on the great looks and the soound.

Eastern Performance has it for 30 bucks or so less than Pro-Pad.

For $59.00 including shipping, I added these WOLO 8" and 10" air horns and hid the compressor behind the original horn cover... had to fabricate a bracket out of rigid aluminum, but was no problem. They put out 138db and are dual noted...........

Arrow I've got one

I bought a chrome NOLO Badboy horn. To me it's louder and I like the tone. I tried some other replacement horns from NAPA etc.-not enough of a diiference though so I returned them. I've had my BadBoy less then 1 year and have some concerns about how well it will hold up. It sure shakes a lot in the stock mounting area. That horn is sold under different names & prices. It is the same horn behind some of the other way more expensive covers.

I just installed a Rivco air horn. I normally don't like to use after-market accessories but had to make an exception this time.
