I have a friend in Mn that has one, it is pretty loud
No, but, thanks to your post I just bought 2. Bike 1,truck 1. Can't be the sale plus additional 10% off with email.
It won't do me any good....In an emergency i could never find the horn button to busy doing evasive maneuvers......And a few times when i meant to hit the horn button i hit the brights....:Shrug:....In the right /wrong circumstances with an obnoxious loud horn you'll can piss people off...
Hows it go; 15 hundred pound trike versus 4 thousand pound pissed off car driver..

to each.his own
Remember when a young Native Indian woman standing around with a few bikers ran over to ask me what kind of big horns I had on my trike?
I told her they were cooling fans, but we were pretty far north so she didn't grasp the concept.

Never heard of them but got me interested. My big question though, does it take 2 to make the train horn sound or does one get the job done? I'm guessing it takes 2 but hoping only 1.
may by one put it on the back get tailgaiters attention
Years ago AAA in Jersey gave out bumper stickers saying...””Tailgating 2pt fine “”
And just about every car with the sticker was driving 15 miles under the speed limit..
They sure are slow to ship. 5 days after order(1/6) to ship & still not here. Anyone else get theirs yet ??

Not yet. DHL got it from California to Raleigh N.C.
Handing it off to USPS. Estimated delivery for Wednesday. (I'm not holding my breath) Mail service is getting really bad around here.
Just got them & sent you a PM..
Two Wheeled Horn
Bill - You like that?

Let us know where you mounted it.
It will be a while Steve. Still doing rehab from shoulder surgery. Still Sore. BillR will let us know when he gets his. Warmer down there where he lives. There were a couple pics on the website,but hard to tell. Good to see you got the axles done. That was our trike in DK's video. Devin did a great job. At only 8500 miles scuffs were already appearing. One of those horns is going on the truck,I think.
Looks like everything to mount. Quality is great. Can;t beat the price !!

Thank you but I'm looking for how one of our members mounts it on their trike and does it sound as good on their installation as the video shows.
OK. It will be a while before I can install. Too cold in the garage. BillR will prob. have his done first, said he would post pics for me.

I guess everyone has their idea of what looks good on a motorcycle and what doesn't. Personally a 20" or 22" chrome horn mounted on the side of my motor wouldn't be in my wheelhouse. I certainly hope no one thinks a loud horn is going to save their butt in an emergency because by the time you fumble around with hitting the horn button you will already be dead.
I would be nice for alerting the idiot in front of you that sits there texting on their phone after the light has turned green.

ISP-FL...I just ordered a set of -2 horns. These horns are not meant to save your life...rather alert some dumb cagers that he/she is about to make a TREEIBLE mistake in front of YOU.. 1 has to be ALERT at all times.. Like they say "It's not ME... It's the other guys you have to watch out for. P.S. I have a set of train horns like these on my 2020 F-150 and they do make a difference....believe ME..

My horns finally came in today just about the time it started to rain. I hooked one up to a jump starter box in my family room. It definitely is LOUD.
I took it to the garage and held it in several positions on the trike. It will take some figuring on making brackets to mount it. The first one is going on the motorhome while I ponder the trike mounting. The wife says she wants one on her Jeep Cherokee, and I may get another for my Tacoma.
FYI, the manual lists the working current at 20 amps and recommends using a relay and 12 gauge wire to connect it up. I got two relays at Auto Zone this afternoon.
We're expecting rain or snow later in the week. Projects piling up, 2 (or more) air horns, install heated leather seat covers in the Tacoma and wire the LED off-road lights that I mounted on the front bumper guard before Christmas.

Low 30's here so still too cold in the garage. Get your 50's degree weather back. The pics they show on the web-site are not good enough to see the mounting. No rush. will be some time till we will be riding.

My point exactly Paul. If you want something louder to maybe alert the idiot in front of you that the light turned green 60 seconds ago, then they would work great. Or, if you want something loud of different just for fun then I suppose they would be worth getting. But unlike maybe louder exhaust that is always there, if you let up on your grip slightly to push the horn button on a Harley then you accomplish two things in an emergency IMHO. You may have slightly less handlebar control and you may waste 1 or 1 1/2 seconds of reaction time.
I went to all the trouble of putting a louder horn on my bike and I have yet to use it except to honk at cows watching me roll by. When I could have used it I was busy avoiding the idiot trying to run over me. But I have one none the less. Big waste I’m thinking now.
