Air Horn, Feedback Requested
I'm considering throwing on an air horn to start this year out. I've heard good things about the mini-beast, and some about HD's unit. With all the crazzies out there, as well as critters hanging around the roads, I'm wondering what others have used, what they like/don't like. I'm requesting some comments on the best direction to go for this option. Pictures of your choice would certainly be appreciated. Thanks in advance....

I have not 'used' the one on my new bike yet, but last Saturday when I had a chance to see the bike on the lift @ the dealer, my mechanic demo'd the HD Premium Air Horn. I believe it will do a solid job of garnering the attention of an ID 10 T cager, if needed.
Now if only the next 8 days or so would pass quickly so that I can pick up my bike up (waiting on a few parts which arrive later this week and early next week).
10-1/2 mos without riding has not been fun and seeing the new bike amp'd me up big time!
I've heard a lot of good about Howards Horns too, but didn't want to go that route personally.

I have the premium air horn (looks like two pieces...chrome horn, black air cylinder). HD part number 69423-05, with the install kit number 69400-05. All together, about $200. Is it loud? Mine is, but I know a few other people that have had problems with theirs.
Would I buy it again? No. It vibrates and shakes like crazy when at idle at a stop light (if I remember right, one bolt at the top...the bottom of the air cylinder and the horn itself isn't really supported). Also, I'm not a fan of its appearance much anymore. I've been waiting for the Mini Beast II to come out, and I'll probably try that one.
I think for $200, there are better and nicer looking options out there. I got a great deal on mine from another person, but I doubt I would have paid even $100 for this if I had to. However, it is a lot louder than stock (if you have one that works well), but it has to be to get the sound around my lowers.
