    You ain't done any homeworkn on this horn Huh Redneck.
    Mine went with the 08 trade in
    Some places you buy the horn from that offer a great price don't offer the mounting bracket or the wiring harness with the RElay.
    You got to figure out where to mount the horn and figure out how to make yer own wiring harness or buy one.
    Seen one horn mounted with a radiator hose clamp.
    The horn don't blow as loud without the wiring harness and Relay man.

    I'm gonna be in the market for another Bad Boy Horn.

    Get the Stebel, they are the original and you get all the mounting stuff. I even have an extra mounting bracket to, would not work with the Springer as it did not have the cowbell horn on it. :D

    I'll check with my dealer on the price and they ship world wide.

    The Stebel is better, had the harbor freight on and didn't like the quality.

    The quality from Harbor Freight Sux's.

    And they don't see the finger, and don't hear what I'm screamin at them.
    Need the horn to wake up up.

    Think the Stebel , who also makes the Wolo is made in Italy.
    And I want a CHROME. I don't like the new Chrome "Black"

    Want to make sure it has the Chrome horn, the mounting bracket , wiring harness and reley to go with the Stebel.

    Not the same one, Stebel horn is different and includes a drain hose for water. Plus there all chrome where the Harbor Freight horn is a cheap version.

    Yeah they have several versions.

    Chrome
    All Black

    If you are going to do the mod
    where you split the compressor
    from the horn, hide the
    horn from the air unit under the cow bell
    and hide the compressor on the bike
    then get the Harbor Freight.

    Why spend more.

    Not going to split it and hide it under the seat, It will only be a chrome one or Nothin. Had one on the other bike.
    But I didn't have a good horn to take the Kuryakyn air horn off or the time to trade it in, so I will wind up trying to abide my time and git another one.
    Won't take a ugly horn like Harbor freight has and put it on a Limited.
    Wouldn't look right.
    Ain't gonna dog my bike up.:cussing:
