This horn is loud, i love it.
First thing i did was remove the stock horn & bend the bracket outward a little bit to fit the bigger horn, then i drill out the hole to accommodate the mounting nut & bolt.
I bought some heat shrink tubing, a roll of 16 gauge wire, some male & female terminals a crimping tool & some electrical tape, for the bottom of the horn i used angled terminals & you'll need a waterproof 30amp inline ATC fuse holder.
The relay included with the horn is numbered so the installation of the 4 wires is very simple, you'll need a test light so you can find the hot wire that's attached to the stock horn, very important so you can wire up the relay correctly, you can pick up a test light for $10 or less on eBay. I found a threaded hole next to the battery which is a perfect location for the relay, i used a screw i had laying around, i got lucky, it fit perfectly.
Attach some male terminals to the horn wires, attach the angled terminals to the new horn, now insert the 4 longer wires into the heat shrink tubing to protect the wires, run the 4 wires under the gas tank & into the battery compartment, wire up the relay attach the fuse, then attach the positive & ground wires to the battery.
It looks great & super loud.

I love it. I use it sparingly but when I need it, it is really a lifesaver. I've had people merge right in to my lane without even looking. A good shot from that thing and they get right back over.

(Re: drhach) | | | Exactly, these are some of the best air horns for motorcycles in my opinion, this is my 2nd one, I have Nautilus on my Honda Shadow, I went with the Denali this time only because it's totally black.
