On the way to work one morning last week and I noticed a doe standing about 5 feet off the edge of the road. I immediately slowed down and hit the horn. She skittered away for a few feet, then started darting back toward the road. I hit the Wolo again and she veered off again, only to start back toward the road the second I let off the horn. By now I'm trying to decide if I dare try to get ahead of her or stop completely and risk some idiot rear ending me. I hit the horn a third time and she finally got the hint and scampered off back in to the shelter of the trees. I told hubby that night when I got home the Wolo has already paid for itself even if I never ever have to use it again.

I assume you're talking about a Wolo Bad Boy? I bought one but still haven't put it on, where did you mount yours? Got any pictures? I'm considering putting mine behind the bat wing but I remove the bat wing when I drive around town. The horn is so huge and there isn't much room on our bikes, I came close to installing it in one the saddle bags lol.

Glad it worked for ya Red Head!!

Visionary, I had the dealer do it since they volunteered to install any parts I bought from them in exchange for my homemade brownies. They took the factory horn off and installed it in place of it. I did buy the $20 wiring harness so that it was on it's own fuse. I'll get out to the garage later tonight and take a picture. If memory serves, it is facing backward, but still very, very effective.

That would be great Red, I'm sure it wil be one of those deals where I install and if I don't like it the wife may get a surprise the next time she uses the horn on her Truck... :

Here's a couple of pics of the horn. Didn't realize how dirty my engine bars are. Best get back out to the garage and clean her up.

Looks pretty close to the brake lever...any problems with stopping? Does it hit the horn?

 

[red head sue]

No, there's plenty of clearance. Just my crappy photography skills. I used my cell phone instead of the digital camera.

Doesn't look bad, I'll have to mock mine up and see how it goes. I have the forward controls so need to make sure the horn isn't pushed to far forward. Thanks for taking the pictures give me a better visual.

I bought the Euroblast, but I did not installed it yet. But I wonder if it is bigger than the wolo.

Hey you guys try mounting it on the left side between the two cylinder heads. I think it would look good there opposite side of the air box.

You might have an issue if you have the forward controls on. There's only about an inch and half between the brake and the horn. Are your controls 3" forward? Then again, if you don't have engine guards, you could probably mount it on the other side of the bracket, facing forward. I couldn't do that because of the engine guards.

I have the forward controls and no engine guards anymore since they wouldn't fit after installing the controls. I'll see how it works where you have it Sue and then look into the left side like Toby suggested. Going to be a couple weeks yet before I start crawling around in the shed, this pain from double hernia surgery is still hanging on...lol.

Double hernia? Ouch!! Heal fast!
