That's what Rail used... he just mounted it on the front, instead of the side.

The Harley horns sound like a train compared to the one that was on my Suzuki C50...it sounded like a squeeze toy.

$159 is a lot to stomach for a horn cover...

Have to say i agree with you ! i keep reading threads on here about wimpy horns who gives a sh$t really ? in 20 odd years of bike-ing dont think have ever used a horn apart from summoning the wife to bring me a beer to the garage..

I think this must be a USA thing....

Use the horn in the pick-up lots though...

... I've really can't remember the last time I actually used the horn on ANY bike for it's intended purpose however I have accidently hit the horn button reaching for the signal switch..

Hence the reason I changed mine..

The price of $159.00 is for the horn and the engraving of any image, your choice. You can find a plain horn cover for cheaper as others have mentioned.

An old Caddilac horn sounds good and stock chrome horn cover will cover it! Or I got a self contained one on Ebay that is louder than the minibeast for $50 chrome, no need for a cover.
