I just put on a Bad Boy air horn, one of those with the little compressor and horn together...anyone have any good suggestion on where I can mount this to get the best sound and kinda hide it a little...I have it where the original horn was right now, but think it sticks out a little too much.........

Mount it just in front of the rear wheel and in the little cubby hole by the swing arm.

This area:



In the area where that pipe is added........

Unless you're on an Interstate.  It fits in the pod of an Interstate.

I've had mine where RJ said for 3 years now. The plate on the swingarm can be drilled and I used pop rivets to mount an L bracket. Don't forget to use a relay to isolate the power to the horn. It draws 18 amps and the stock horn button and wires aren't made for this.

You don't say what kind of air horn it is.  I mounted my Stebel air horn in the right side pod of my Interstate and it really wakes you up when I hit the switch.

It is a Bad Boyz, bought from Harbor Freight...good and loud, I think it is similar to the Stebel.  I have a Tourer so no pods to mount it in..right now I have a Belly Tank but that is coming off as soon as I get time, so that sounds like a good place for it to go..until then I guess it will just stick out on the side..Thanks for the input..
