Air Horns

Occasionally the "Dutch Treat" has a little dis-agreement with lane-shifting cars. I was never impressed by the quality of motorcylcle horn sound volumes, so I decided to mount a set of air horns. (Regular WOTI lurkers will know they act as "Deer Horns" as well :-)

First attempt: Where to mount the horns, and where to mount the compressor ?

The horns (2 in my case) did fit on a z-bend iron plate that mounts with the original bold that fits the fairing reflector. The plastic cover for that bolt will not fit anymore, but that is out-of sight anyhow.

The compressor fits exactly inside the left (or right) lower fairing. Just drill one hole inside the black air duct for the bolt, and two for a tie-wrap that secures the other side (not the bolt-side).

Second attempt:After a while, the horns got clogged with dirt and the compressor took to long to fully engage AND I liked other horns better. So : This is the current situation!
