 Well I decided to fit the bigger horn first, fitted up OK and a cover put on the air compressor that matches my oil filter cover, I still have a second high pitch air horn to fit....if I feel like it, most likely will fit the second horn as it sounds good with the twin tone (Loud too) But it will be when I get a bit more spare time.









The video doesn't do the horn justice, sounds louder in person

That's the second worst oil leak I ever saw.

Damn the worst leek must have been a shocker...... If it looked worse than the drips of water from water blasting.... The ute was parked ready for its bath too....but that never happened Tongue

If what appears correct in my eyes,  what type of clamp did you use and where got since looks like it is attached to the top of the crash bar.

I want to put my howards horn on right side where the OEM stock horn is above that.

which side is preferred to mount larger horns and why?  right or left?

The clamp on the crash bar I made out of .8mm Stainless steel sheet steel, I mounted mine to the left as it had spare threaded hole to mount the pump, It could have gone on either, I will be mounting a second or twin set on the RH yet but not locked that in, I have a pair here that sounds good with it but they are chromed plastic and they fade apparently so rethinking that atm .... may get a shorter single and mount the other side.

I got mine of Ebay..... I actually got two (one for a friend) but both compressors didn't work so am sorting that ATM (PITA) ..... I had a spare compressor here for my high pitch horn so at least I have this running.

I am told they are on Aliexpress to as another mate got one from there...$25 ish to my door

I have fitted the cheap twin high pitched horns to my bike so I have the triple horn sound, Have yet to cover the pump and will keep looking for an affordable steel set like I want but cheap ones will do for now

 They are to loud to use in my workshop....my ears are still ringing Tongue

I put a stainless cover on the RH air horn compressor.....



Looks better than red



I was going to do another Bourbon can cover like on the LH air horn but that takes longer to fiddle with than I had time, not sure which I like better

Bourbon and cola... 4-8% mix....handy at times but not like a good quality drop with ice Tongue

I have another can I emptied from the bottom so may end up the same as the other side at some stage

 Still have my new YSS Shocks &  progressive front springs to fit, Float valves are on the way so I can try and set the floats to stop the needles leaking and flooding it the bike is left Idling so any spare time goes in to that first.
