I have a WOLO on each bike and they are pretty loud.  I like them.  I'm sure there are louder and better looking ones out there... but it serves my purpose.  I did, however, take off that hidious, animated sticker. cooldude

Fritz and I have the Bad Boy horn on our I/S's it's mounted behind the left pod. Fritz made the mount. Easy fit and a loud horn for a good price. You will need to buy a relay for it.

i originally went to an auto salvage yard and got a set out of an old chevy van for $5, they worked great but one of the two doesn't work anymore, time to go back to the junk yard, or i'll pull the two out of the wifes van!!

I have the harbor freight air horns mounted underneath the swingarm  for almost 3 years. No problems and they are pretty loud. Definitely worth 15.00. Check magazines and find a 20% off coupon then youve got a steal for like 12 dollars.

 Can you use the wiring for the stock horn and just add the relay?

Just use the horn circut to trigger the relay for the horns. That is the way I hooked mine up and has worked well for years cooldude
