I am looking at the Steel Nautical, it seems to have a good track record, nice and loud.
What does everyone like?

I have no practical helpful answer, I stick with Vance and Hines for audible alerts, but this might do the job...

Mini beast has always been a performer,,, I'm surprised the Mo Co didn't introduce a four note on the Rushmore back in '14 MY

Love it, no helmet, no light, but a big horn. :scratch:
I need it more for deer, turkey, and buzzards. I use the pipes and it works pretty well, but want to give them a startle.

I saw those, I want something that can be taken apart, the compressor under the cow bell, the horn in front.
I believe the moco sells a upgrade air horn?

I've used Howards Horns for years with good results.  Had to get a bit creative on mounting when I went from a Road Glide to a Fatboy low and moved the coil to the center motor mount.  It gets attention.

Well I went ahead and bought a Stebel Nautilus on eBay.

You are supposed to be able to take them apart to mount in separate locations, so will let everyone know how it works.
Thanks for the input, HC

When I had the engine guard on the shovel I hung an air horn on it. Right now I don't recall if it was a Stebel or a Wolo.
After I stripped some of the weight off the bike I just put a fairly loud (better than stock anyhow) all electric unit inside the nacelle.

Yep, that's the one I have. I separated it and stuffed the horn under the stock cover. I mounted the compressor on the large flat area of the frame right behind the rear cylinder. I have HD mid frame covers so it's well hidden on my bike. It does the job.

In that link under more information it says the solo is Chinese.
The Stebel is Italian, although not sure where it is made.

Your right!  The WOLO is Chinese.  Hmm... I always thought they were US based.  The WOLO has been around 4 years.  The uncanny resemblance between the 2 leads me to believe they could be made by the same manufacturer.  Great, LOUD horns they are

I did the same thing, only thing i did different was I stuffed the compressor behind the left side cover between the the battery and the brace holding the fuses, it's just zip tied in place, been there over 10 years,  back in the original site someone had a pictorial on installing it
