When I first started looking at airhorns I was thinking about a Stebel Nautilus but then saw one on a bike and didn't like the way it looked. Even though I didn't really like the looks of the mini-beast it was extremely loud so I put one on my RKC; that I've subsequently sold to one of my riding buddies. I've now got a new bike with a stock horn that will be replaced; it looks like I'll go with the new version of the mini-beast - at least it looks a lot better and I know how loud they are and how easy the first one was to install.

Had the Mini Beast on my old bike and waited for the Mini Beast II for my Ultra.
I really like it so far. They will get a cages attention but NONE will keep a Semi from coming into your lane...trust me!

I used a set of Revco air horns. I made an L shaped bracket out of 3/16 aluminum and mounted themunder the left floorboard. I used the front 2 bolts of the jiffy stand for the mount. Been happy with mine for the past year or so.

I've heard the Howards Horns...they do sound like a Mack truck
I like the styling, and the sound. It is on my short-list of purchases this summer...(probably my next purchase actually...

The last one was a Howards Horn, its setting in a box in the garage.
If you decide to sell anytime soon, I'd be interested

Don't remember where I saw them, but I'm leaning towards the air horns that mount behind the right sadlebag. Anyone?

If you're talking about the Kuryakyn horns, they aren't air horns. They look like air horns and the advertising is mis-leading.

Wow, lots of information. Thanks to all, and to GMC, great photo, very much appreciated. And to Karz10, many thanks for the info, links, etc. I'll try and find your fog lamp post and add what I can to it... I'm going to have to sort through all this, but it's exactly what I was looking for. Lot's of differing opinions, pros and cons, and some photos, links, and valuable information. This is what I love about this Forum.. Still open, but lots of food for thought. Thanks again....

I have the Metal Arts magnum horn. IT IS LOUD!! IT is pricey at $180.00 as it has the WOLO horn, comes with relys but HD's don't need it. Simple install. You are playin for a very nice horn cover and mount. Iw ould buy it again. Looks great.
