+1. I like mine a lot. Sound like a Ferrari! <g>
I just need to put 2 black Hot Toppers to cover the tank mounting bolts and I'm done. Where did you mount yours?

Just ordered Pro Pad's chrome Mini-Beast 4 Twin Cam 96 Style horn, the cover of which is designed to more or less match the stock cover of the air cleaner on the right side of my 09 RK Police.

Should kinda "even out" the look of the bike.

I was going to pass on an aftermarket horn and just rely on my avoidance skills until I let one of the neighborhood kids beep the stock horn and where a kid is usually excited by a horn, he turned and looked up at me and said, "That's weak. Is there something wrong with it?"

Wisdom from the mouths of babes.

I have the Metal Ats one. It is a direct plug in and needs no relay of any kind. A little pricy but works great..........http://www.metalartsinc.com/motorcyc...accesories.htm

The HD air horn I was bragging about stopped working. There went $169 down the drain.

I like the metal arts easy plug and play easy on the bracket and the mini could even look stock. But I wonder how it sounds??

They're just a shade high pitched. They sound like a boat horn.

I went with the HD air horn. Like the sound but the mounting bracket is weak and the horn really bounces around at idle. Based on other forums I believe the brackets also have a tendency to break.

OK. After doing a search and reading through all the "applicable" threads, I have decided that "I STILL DON"T KNOW WHICH AIR HORN IS BEST" WTF? I can see the HD air horn is prone to pre-mature failure, the Howard's horns is susceptible to mounting bracket failures, the rivco is can be un-reliable...I am confused.
After today's ride home from work (three times attempted vehicular homicide) I decided that it is time to get an air horn. But which one.......?
