... there's no kind of horn we can put
on our bikes that's louder than a passenger jet at full throttle  Smiley

I'm thinking a jet engine at full throttle! Smiley

Ever heard a locomotive horn???

I saw that video too! I want to mount one on my Jeep.

When I worked for general Dynamics out in Western MA I lived in a town called Russell which is in the Pioneer Valley region of the state. My house was right on the west side of the Westfield river. Over on the East side of the river nestled up against the hills was a busy freight rail about a 3/4 mile away as the crow flies. At night you could feel the rumble and hear the train blowing it's horn. I actually really got to like it. It never woke from sleep but it was neat to lay in bed at night and hear it to it's thing. If I weren't fixing airplanes for a living I'd be fixing trains.

If you have an I/S, try the pods.  A Stebel (Big Boy, whatever) fits into a pod quite nicely.

No I have a standard

Then don't put it in the pods.

Hey Guys and Gals,
Why bother buy all kind of air horns or after market horns? Lot of people come to me to get rid of any of horns and put quad horns in?
At InZane 11 I changed about 7 air horns for quad horns and sold 22 set of quad horns also donated one set of quad horn for InZane raffle prize.
At Inzane 10 I changed about 8 air horns for quad horns and sold 19 set of quad horns.
Does that every year at Inzane average 5 to 10 to get rid of any of horns for quad horns.
So is at my shop in Phx AZ I got lot of air horn and some after market horns out to put Quad horns in and finally it's been a while not change after market horns because almost everyone has my quad horns.
So far I have sold over 1,000 of em since 2004.  cooldude

It's up to you... either BigbF's Quad Horns or different horns.

Thanks,
BigBF

BigBF, Do you think you could make us a sound bite or video like some other companies do? I'm sure I'm not the only one that wants to hear them.

Thanks,

Here are the horns that I bought.

Mucho loud.  I set them up basically as the BigBF horns.  I saw his after I bought mine.  Had I seen his quad setup I would have just bought his.

The best I ever heard was not a horn,but actually a car alarm siren on a relay triggered by the horn button. It was TINY,Very high pitched and loud as hell !  It would make other drivers pee on themselves and drop anything in their hands is how the owner described it....he hit the button 1/2 way thru' telling me and I dont even remember what I dropped but I do remember swearing alot and asking him to cancel a repeat performance !   I need to research that a bit...I may call him and ask for details.

Thanks that will help me and others who have never heard it, plus probably a great increase of your sales. Thanks,
