Yeah, like it a lot. I have a Rivco Trumpet on my glide. Its just as loud as the Rivco and a little deeper in tone. Plus like I said its a 5 minute intall (remove the rubber spacer and bolt it on), the Rivco I had to run a power lead to the compressor, mount under the seat etc.

Thanks for the report, I might have to splurge for a new horn!

A vendor at a rally here in Oklahoma had that same horn last year.  I thought it looked great and was ready to spend my $$$, until I picked it up.... It looked like someone had taped things together on the back, so water would have been a problem.  It was the only one he had, so maybe I'll come across another one some day.

I got one a while back with the long trumpets...    both horns vibrated/broke off on the way up to Canada for the do up there...
Got home and made the call, he sent me one with the short trumpets...   both horns vibrated/broke off on the way in to the Redwoods three weeks later...   
Got home, made the call, sent me another with short trumpets...   mount rubber broke on the dyno at the shop...
Got home, made the call, sent me a phenolic resin mount/shock washer...  Stock angle mount broke a week later sitting at a stop light...
Got home made the call....  said he would send me a more robust mount angle...   That was 7 months ago...  still calling once a onth or so.....

But I really like the horn...  It just won't stay on the bike long enough to use it !!!!

 :soapbox:


Anybody wanna buy mine?  I'm pretty pissed about it at this point...   (Oh yea,  you'd have to use your own mount...)

Now I just have to hope they don't break, but they sure do look and sound good.
