Default hd air horn question

ok, don't laugh but i have a question...installed the h/d air horn on bike cause you can never be too loud when it comes to letting some a$$hole on a cell phone know you are around them but what is the deal with the rubber hose. looks like $#@t in my opinion. doesn't seem to make any diff. if it is on or off and it sure looks better off. am i missing something here? thanks ....ride safe

This is what I did with the hose, looped it around to the back of the horn and cut the excess off. The hose is only to let air into the compressor.

I bought one and only kept it on for about 2 weeks. It's the ugliest piece of crap they have ever designed. What the heck were they thinking when they only chromed half of it. The sound isn't that good either, sounded like a calflooking for it's momma. Put a MiniBeast on and now am happy.

I wish I knew. I love the horn, but I trimmed it and hid most of it. Still works fine.

I've also used the Stebul air horn, an not the mini- either. It SUXed. No the 4 wheeler in the 3500 diesel4x4 with the lift package and windows all up, stereo on and smoking a cig while on the cell phone, still plowed into my lane. He realized he was into my space when I was fixen to smack onto his drivers window with my bird finger!

Now that I've got rid of my true duals, and have a 2 into 1 exhaust, I going to put MACK truck air horns under the left bag in the new opened space. That along with an air compressor, tank, solonoide valve and presure switch.

I WILL BE HEARD..... bythe 4x4 next time.

I like mine, I routed the hose up behind the back of the horn. The only
reason it is there is to keep moisture and dirt out of the compressor.

I routed mine up and away ending up under the seat so it gets cooler air and the horn works fine. Maybe I screwed up I went by the directions.
