If you are looking at the Wolo air horn, you might want to take a look at the KuryAkyn Bad Boy Wolo Chrome Air Horn Kit #7742. The KuryAkyn kit is really just a Wolo Model 519 Bad Boy Chrome unit with (2) extra pieces.
1. The KuryAkyn kit comes with a wiring harness.
2. The KuryAkyn kit comes with a black mounting bracket! This was what was important to me. This allows you to mount the Wolo air horn to the bracket assembly instead of the horn bracket. There are a couple of advantages to this.
a) The bracket assembly is stronger than the horn bracket. I've read reports of the horn bracket breaking due to the vibration and heavier weight of the Wolo air horn when mounted to it.
b) The black mounting bracket centers the Wolo air horn between the jugs and raises it slightly compared to just mounting the Wolo to the horn bracket. I think the installation looks better using the KuryAkyn black mounting bracket.

Stebel Air Horn,
I installed this in 2012 and it's still on the bike (even surviving the 2014 broad side that totaled the bike.) LOUD (and looking for an example I apparently found one on sale for ya' $40?)

Mine has dual Grover air horns. Previous owner installed them and did a nice touch of using two chrome plated fire extinguishers as the reservoirs. Since this is the Firefighters edition, I thought it was a nice touch. And Grover air horns are the most common brand used on firetrucks. It also has on-board air compressor to keep your need to blast your horn fully satisfied at all times!

As I look into the horn cover it does look like a Badboy, Nautilus, or a Steble type of horn.
The perfect size horn for a motorcycle.
CD is sure proud of their stuff. I also have a few of their signal lights too. I went with the pro beast because it actually looks like it's supposed to be there. Does that make sense? I also like the looks of it too. Now it needs to pass the test of time.
