I did the same thing, but put the horn behind the cowbell. My best friend couldnt tell it was an airhorn until I hit the switch.


Wouldn't that require a compressor to run a while to get the tank filled up and then a solenoid to discharge into the horns? Seems like it would be more complicated than its worth.

 

You could make a small reservoir from a piece of maybe 2" black iron pipe with caps on the end, drill and tap for
npt fittings to run air lines.

I got one of the Wolo Bad Boys on Amazon for right at $42. Mounted it in my wife's Miata, (it's horn is more useless than my Road King's). I mounted it using a relay. My
ears are still ringing from the first time I tested it...

Guess I'm ordering another one for the bike. I like the idea of seperating the compressor from the horn and installing the horn under the stock horn cover.

 

How much of the horn extends outside the cowbell? A pic would be great.

 

There is already a write-up about them, but I will snap some pics a little later and post them. The only thing you can see are the fitting for the hose and some clear tubing. That will change with a little braided wrap though.

 

You would need a pressure switch to keep the reservoir charged up, and not burn up the compressor. I built an on board air compressor for my jeep, and, though the size is a bit overkill for a bike, the parts needed don't really change, as far as switches and such. http://www.kilbyenterprises.com/web-...oba_manual.pdf is a schematic of what I'm talking about.

 

I trimmed a bit of the horn with a Dremmel, you have to look very close to see the horn under the cow bell. I'll try to get a picture later today.

Thanks guys. I look forward to the pics.

 

On an earlier post someone fitted a Stebel out of sight behind one of his saddlebags. I tried that on my old bike, but there is not enough room, as they are bigger than they look in the photos! Must try dismantling it, if I can remember where I put it.

 

I also used the Stebel, seperated with the horn under the cowbell and NOTHING sticks out. You cannot tell period. Go to this link, its what I used as a guide to install mine

on other makes of scoots ive seen guys drill the highway bars ,tap and thread, and user the bars for an air tank... they say it works great.
