Loud horn bolt on

The OEM horn sucks (well - it makes noise) but I can hardly hear it with helmet on... I did some google-ing to find what would be the most easy and seamless install.

I found "Blazer Horn Highway Blaster, 132db". I just swaped it right out, so easy, took less than ten minutes

Only tools needed are a basic socket and wrench set (8 and 13 mm if i remember correctly. No relay, button, no hassle of hardwiring to battery and most importanly, all OEM hardware can be used.

So simple, took ~ ten minutes.
fits perfect, and is super loud.

The p/n is BH103FBH and it is sold at Autozone. Luckily it was in stock at my local store. PM me or just request if any one would like to see pictures.

You are so right, my Autozone stocks it also.

I was surprised to see how small of a gauge the stock horn wire is. I put an airhorn on my bike and I feel much safer with a horn that can be heard.

If you like a lower tone, just get part number BH103FBL.

There is a screw (outlined in red). In the instructions, it says "Do Not Touch This Screw"

The screwing it in/out changes the tone - all the way in - it is low pitch -- and out a higher pitch

I just got back from the SEMA show in Vegas and at the very end of the show many exhibitors cheap sell some of their goods. I picked up two sets of horns, one with a tone switch for $3 each. I opened one and it was a direct replacement for the horn on my Buell while the other I installed on my 999R. I think I'm going to remove the Buell horn and match it with the one I put on the Duc because they are supposed to be mounted in pairs. I believe theres enough room, I'll just have to splice in a couple wires. The horns are the same shape with the same connector location as the one pictured above.
