Once again, lots to digest. Thanks to all that provided input. Much appreciated.

It is the Mini Beast & the HD Premium Air Horn.

Wow, neither one sounded real loud, but the Harley horn sounded pathetic...

It's as loud as any other air horn maybe a touch louder than the original Mini Beast.
I got mine here: http://www.thepropad.com/p-84-mini-b...r-horn-ii.aspx
It lists for $159.95
at the time I had pre-ordered it and it was about 6 or 7 months before it came out. They had a intro price of 149.95 and offered 15% off and free shipping if you ordered two or more so a buddy and I got them for $124 delivered.
Look around, may find it cheaper.
139.99 on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PRO-P...QQcmdZViewItem

I did the Stebel and separated the compressor and the horn. Mounted the compressor under the seat and the horn fits nicely into the cowbell. Just ran a hose from the compressor to the horn. Can't tell it's there unless you look close enough to see the hose. Very loud and it's stealth!

I'm still shopping....holy cow, there's a long info when you really start looking close at air horns. I'll sort it out at some point, and hopefully have it figured out before too long.

Ok here ya go, Mini Beast, Pro Pad, Stebel Nautilus , or bad boy are basically all the same unit. Bad boy from HFT is a knock off copy, main difference is whether they come with a cover and style of cover. For those of you that do not like the covers, you can remove the compressor part of the horn and mount it under the seat on pre 08 models and run a small rubber hose to connect the horn to the compressor, still use the stock hd cowbell horn cover. I have had a few of these and love them but they do have some problems. They as a complete unit do shake alot, you must secure the cover good to the horn even with the stock units. By remvoving the compressor you lessen the weight of the unit. Also make sure you add a bit of crimp to the wire connectors where they attach to the compressor, they tend to come loose. To modify these horns requires some fine tuning with a dremel tool. Here is the link to another forum that has a "how to"

I had a "Stebel" air horn on my previous bike. That 139 dB blast will put a brown stain on the seat of any idiot on the receiving end.
Wires up with a 30 amp relay off stock horn button. Got mine for $42 from bikerhighway.com. Plan on putting one on my '06 Road King soon.

I just put a mini-beast II on my sg. I really like the way it looks, it was easy to install and it is very loud with a good sound. As long as it holds up, I will be very happy with this purchase.

I've had the Howard's Horns for a couple of years...No issues.

I like the "old school" look. They are not cheap, but do seem to hold up.

The compressor mounts behind the cowbell/skull cover.
