Spent about $5 at Home Depot to complete the install.
sounds great, thanks for posting

Got my WOLO BAD MAX a while back, new model with low freq like the Stebel Compact truck horn, it seperated fairly easily, and apears it will fit under the OEM horm cover, just need some time to do the install.

IMHO, there is no horn that will "plug & play" into the stock HD wiring and achieve a desired effect.

The OEM wiring was meant to fire an electric horn. For noticeable increased volume, you will need a compressor driven horn. One option is the Stebel Nautilus compressor air horn. This is an inexpensive mod (less than $50) that will sound like a pissed off 1970's Cadillac and blow your HD electric horn off the map.

The actual horn bellows will fit under the stock cowbell and the compressor can be mounted in an alternate location.

You will need to install a direct wired relay which in turn will utilize the OEM wiring and horn button to fire the compressor.

I’m sure that if you do a search here on HDF, that someone here has fully documented this simple mod.

If you can’t find the information here, then here is a link to another good “how to” with pics.

That's my setup. +1 on the relay....must use a relay otherwise the amperage required to drive the compressor goes all the way back through the horn switch on the handlebar.....not good!

I picked up a mini-beast a while back. Pricey, but it's plug and play. And pretty damn loud.

I put a Wolo bad boy on the V-star, it's really loud. Got it at Harbor Freight. They have a chromed version but I got the black. I put a mini beast on the SG, it's loud as well but cost a whole lot more.
