Like I stated earlier I had a Howard's horn for 3 years, always having to clean it so it would work and the mounting bracket kept breaking, I went to a Rivco because I like the trumphet look, I removed the trumphet covers because I didn't like the looks, I have never cleaned it and it has never not worked ,I have had no issues with it in 8 years

Howards horn was the biggest piece of crap. It never worked right and they always had an excuse as to why. When I figured out it was the pump that was bad they offered to sell me another one.

Do a google for grover air horns

Rules out Howard's horns, gonna check into the Rivco, and Kuryakyn, and the Harbor Freight one. Harbor Freight scares me somethimes though, stuff just tends to be a little too cheap. Woncder if you get what you pay for on that one.

I have a Metal Arts air horn, which is basically Wolo from what I understand, but I like the cover that comes over the compressor. Mine has the short horns. I've heard rumors that that the long horns have cracking problems on V-Twins.

I've got the Howards on my King and put them on my Heritage Springer that I had previously as well. I like 'em! I also have replaced the bracket that holds the compressor behind the cowbell. Seems that with the shaking of the motor is a little tough on the bracket with the weight of the compressor on it!

Default Mini Beast is Ugly

Maybe it's just me but that Mini Beast 2 is way out of place on a HD.., Looks like it's made for metrics... I like the idea of hiding the Stebel but not with that kidney shaped toaster lookin thing.... I ordered the Stebel Nautilus Compact and will seperate it with the horn inside the Cowbell and compressor hidden somewhere, not sure where yet. Going for the Stealth look!

Yeah, I see alot of guy's are happy with the Mini Beast but I guess I prefer the stock look with the same loudness as the MB (same stebel horn)....Something about the shape... I actually like the old square MB better but cant find them anywhere.
