Where have any of you mounted the Bad Boy on your second gen?

It can be mounted where your current horn is mounted. Carbon_One sells a mounting bracket and a wiring harness as well. A plug and play set up I used and recommend.

It almost fits where stock one is so i will check carbon one set thanks

I have used Cabon Ones bracket and wire harness and highly recommend them. The harness comes with the required relay

[kevin-vic-b.c.]

Bracket ordered, the wiring harness does look great but I have the relay and ability to wire it in

I mounted one up lower left by leg fairing. Removed lower filler cosmetic panel and installed it there. I didnt want to put it under the fairing and muffle any sound.

Has anybody seen the Denali Sound Bomb horn? Looks like a knock off stebel sort of.

I had Larry's bracket and wiring harness. Great quality and nice fit. Made swapping out the stock horn very easy.

 

I went to dual horns so removed the Stebel from the stock location and put the OEM horn back on. I got brackets from SlowRollWV that put the horns behind and below the passenger floor boards. I modified the wiring from Larry. SlowRollWV makes several parts for the RSV (carb covers, twinkie covers, passing light spacer, clutch bleeder cover.....).

I got the bracket and harness installed by carbon one at rags meet and eat this summer. thanks again for the install and thanks rags for the meet and great

When I first got my RSTD, did not know about Larry's bracket and harness. Heck, didn't know about VR!

So, did it my self. I used a 2" single hole corner brace from Lowes (enlarged the holes). see below. And wired manually with a relay.

The original brace did crack. But, hey, it was a 4 pack & quickly fashioned another.

 

But when I got my RSV, got harness and the stainless bracket from Larry. Looks better, won't crack and harness made it quick and easy.

 

And, I did unplug the left horn (maybe removed it, not sure?). You can't hear it over the air horn, only serves to drain juice. Stupid place for one anyhow.

Removing the second horn is a great idea..... where FR*** is it? I have not been able to find it.

The horn on the left side of the bike is in the lower cowling.

Wait a dogone minute here. Why would you want to take an extra noise maker off? If 1 horn is good why would w not be better? If loud pipes possibly save lives (so I have read) why wouldn loud horns?

[Mike G in SC]

Dion, Cause it's like having Pavarotti, backed up by Alvin the Chipmunk. Can't hear it and don't want to. (Sorry Alvin,,,, ALVIN!)

 

Try this test. Unplug your right side horn (one lead) then honk. Goes Poooooo,,,,t

Being inside the cowling makes it pretty insignificant. Someone more electrical might tell you if it is stealing juice from the Bad Boy (or Stebel in my case).

Some folks have mounted a second air horn over there.

I mounted my Stebel up front. I figured it would put it a little closer to the possible offender. Took old horn out and installed air horn. Then a few months back I found this pretty loud "beep" type horn from sick speed. It works pretty dang good in conjunction with the stebel.

[JerryK]

I put mine inside the fairing on the left side and it will still let someone think a Semi just honked his air horn at them! Out of sight like I wanted it.....Put it in there about 75000 miles ago and no regrets!

[djh3]

I actually had 2 stebel types for awhile. Then horn on the truck died so I moved one over there. Thats when I added the black sick speed on the right side. Its a "beeper" type but it does make a good bit of noise, says like 130 DB.
