I have the Rivco air horns, but they go on the stock mount.
Seen and heard these, so they would be the ones I'd get or recommend: http://www.kuryakyn.com/index.cfm/go...etail/IMID/260

I used a Stebel. Got it for about $40. I seperated the compressor and the horn. I mounted the horn in the left side cover and the compressor in the frame in front of the battery and ran a hose between the two. Worked great and never had any trouble. A plus is that you can do away with the cowbell. Hope the pics come thru.

How do you seperate the horn from the compressor? Isn't a Wolo Badboy actually a Stebel, or am I dreamin'?
To separate just slide the compressor off of the horn. It takes a little force but it slides off. It took me a minute to figure out which way to slide.

There's really nothing new in the tankless airhorn world (Stebel, MiniBeast, Wolo, HD, Howards, Rivco, etc). What someone really needs to work out is a way to get a small air reservoir (tank) and compressor hidden to get the really loud sound. I came across a guy on YouTube who put a setup into one of the saddlebags. Sucker was LOUD.

Kuryakyn makes their Hidden Horns that go behind the right saddlebag....great idea, but I haven't really heard anything good about them at all. Most people have said they fall apart or quit working.
I too wanted a completely hidden air horn.........but in the end I just went with the Mini-Beast. This thing is super loud, easy to install, and looks good. I paid $109 delivered for mine which is the original one, the new design ones are a little more pricey.
