    Looks like 12 year-old Irish cheddar to me. I'll let you decide if that is a good thing, or a bad thing.

    I picked up a cheap air horn set from Harbor Freight when my stock horns quit. I was hoping to be able to hide the horns a little better. You should have seen it when they were bright red! I considered spraying them with Chrome Krylon and mounting them on the fender but it was just much easier to mount them on the aux. lamp housing.

    It's louder than any bike horn I've heard and there isn't enough room anywhere for the Ooga horn!

    I may lose the air horns but the wind screen stays.

    While still far from sexy, this looks much better to me.

    I wasn't kidding about the Ooga horn. I mounted it on my GS850L bagger's Vetter fairing. It looks like it belongs there.

    Problem is when you hit it car drivers are going to be swerving out the way of the on-coming semi or frigate probably knocking the little motorcycle out the way. ;)

    Thanks Gary. It's not quite as clean as the pics make it look but she's a solid runner and near stock. It's my daily ride so I have to have a horn. Believe me, I need a loud one around the yahoos in these parts. Motorcycles are common but common sense in a cage is non existent.

    Crazy Bob!
    Yeah he's still kickin' That boy is a nutty as a fruitcake. I don't think he has two nickles to rub together, but then I would not have been surprised if he pulled a wad of cash out of pocket when he wanted your scoot.
