I tried to mount it on the front frame but it is big and wouldn't fit correctly between the radiator and lower fairing. After experimenting with various possibilities, even where the stock horn was, this spot was the best. Not sure how long the horn will last since water can flood it due to the direction but we will see.
Yes it is plenty loud!
Install was easy. the hardest part was figuring out where to mount it.
It should last there. I have a friend who has his Wolo mounted on his engine guard of his 2010 Nomad. I think he mounted it on the upper part of the bar though and has it hanging straight down.
I put a Custom Dynamics Mini Beast 5 (in pic below) on mine 'cause like you said that tiny sounding horn had to go.
Put mine on a few weeks ago. Was able to get it on the left side down frame. Yea it's loud. My friend who has a HD now wants one. I told him they are only made for Kawasaki's.:grin2:
That all depends if you want the chrome or just plain. The performance is the same (loud). The one I got is chrome and a chrome cover. I like the shiny.
My $17.00 version did not require a relay. It connects with the two stock wires, a direct replacement. The instructions also described the installation if you only have one stock wire. I'm not very mechanical, so the easy install worked great for me.
I know with some motorcycles, not sure about the Vulcan, the horn switch is not capable of handling the extra power load of a lager horn and would eventually burn up if a relay was not used.
Anyone know the volt/amp capabilities of the horn switch?
I will also look in my service manual to see if it says.
I bought one of those highway blasters. After a while it started loosing it's loudness. Don't think it was water cause the opening was pointed down. This kit did come with a relay. It looks and sounds great. Like I said it's a personal choice.
I went back over and I agree with you - looks like it Does Not come with extra wiring. But the way I see it - for a few $ I can get the extra wiring and still save $ on this model over the Kuryakyn
I know these are 4x the cost of the other solutions I've seen, but has anyone used these: [ame]http://www.amazon.com/Rivco-Products-Air-Horn-Chrome/dp/B000TK1U82/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1449612661&sr=8-13&keywords=motorcycle+air+horn[/ame]
If so... why are they $200????
