4.0 out of 5 stars Nice and loud for a motorcyle, but mounting might be tricky., May 9, 2010

This review is from: Wolo Model 519 Bad Boy Chrome One Piece Design Air Horn Kit - 12 Volt (Misc.)

I bought this for my motorcycle, since the stock horn sounds like something that belongs on a child's tricycle. The toughest part of the installation is mounting it so that compression of the front struts doesn't hit the horn. I had to use two metal mounts (doubled together for strength) that came with stock horns I had lying around. Once I bent them at 90 degree angles, I was able to mount the horn using the bolt and nut that comes with the Wolo, as well as the mount bolt on the stock horn. Wiring is pretty easy and straightforward. I just re-drew the diagram so that I could read it without a magnifying glass. Keep in mind that the instructions tell you that it doesn't matter which wire on the Wolo goes to ground or the battery, but it definitely does matter. When I first tried the horn it sounded like a dying moose; but when I switched the wires around it roared to life and scared the hell out of me. You will definitely be heard out there on the road!

This review is from: Wolo Model 519 Bad Boy Chrome One Piece Design Air Horn Kit - 12 Volt (Misc.)

I really like the horn, and the great sound will make it much safer on my bike now. However, I must say that I was disappointed when it arrived and I found to safely install it on my Harley, I need to go out an purchase additional hardware. The product futures state "One-piece design requires no hoses and installs in minutes by simply transferring the factory horn wires to the compressor... The Bad Boy is compact in size to fit any car, truck, motorcycle and any 12 volt vehicle". The package goes further and states "Installs in minutes without special tools...complete with all mounting hardware". Not true if you plan to mount it on a motorcycle. The instructions require that you use a relay (provided), run additional wiring from the battery and the horn, and install an in line fuse (all not included) before it would work without possibly damaging the bikes electrical system. The additional requirement, cost and effort to install almost led me to send it back. However, I decided to keep it and despite the misleading advertising and additional cost I am glad I kept it because it sounds great and is LOUD!
