Wife got this for me as I had mentioned wanting it. Put it on this eve. and really like it. Is functional as described. And am very satisfied. I had saw were some had used this also for a place to mount additional horns and worked out great, being that the Valk has limited space for any. Any suggestions or pics on the horn mounted would be deeply appreciated. link below of present mentioned.

Is your bike a standard/tourer or an Interstate?
There are many that have mounted WOLO bad boy air horns under the petcock area on the standard. And many that have mounted the same horn under the radiator pods on an Interstate. Do a search and you will find many pictures of the mounting.
Here is one of 20 or more threads on the subject.

I have that adapter... I like it a lot... be real careful when you jack your bike, make
sure that you aren't lifting it by the headers...

I also have BigBF horns, I cut a slot in the adapter to accommodate them:



The adapter is so popular that BigBF now has a kit for quad horns
that is made for it...

I was in the exact situation...I ordered the adapter back in 2013 and it was $26.95...not sure what he gets for them now

I have a Stebel bolted on that adapter and it works well.  Just make sure the horn doesn't hang below the adapter and all will be well.

Actually the adapter has the angle part which is enough to mount horns directly on it. I have had the dual air horns mounted there.

Putting a tourer up on that jack adapter and THEN removing the bags and rear wheel WILL cause the bike to tilt forward to rest on the front wheel.

I had strapped the bike to the jack itself so was able to apply a little pressure to the back of the bike and then slid some wood under the front wheel.

Put one on my I/S. Ready for winter maint. And the idea of being able to store my Valk raised. I have limited space so can move my bike around for more room in the garage. Very handy and well worth the bucks in my book. Will be adding horns also this winter as mentioned on this.  cooldude

I remove the bags when I work on my rear wheel too. And take off the shocks and rear fender section.

I never raise my bike more than an inch or two, it is always stable... I don't even lift it to the first lock,
I jamb a board in the lift sissors... note the slip of paper under the headers - if you're not careful,
you'll be lifting by the headers... I put a board perpendicular to the lift forks now, and miss the
headers by a mile.



This turnbuckle comes in way handy too!
