- March 19, 2013, 17:38:00 PMI really haven't given mounting much thought. With my setup it would be hard to mount it up front like the vintage bikes. I have seen them mounted where the left side air box was on modified 1500's. I have kept my air box intact, so that's not an option either.

Like that's realistic.... Course it probably IS pretty loud at that range...... the distance from the horn matters in these measurements. They do their's at about 4 inches.... way too close.

Here it is mounted on a springer front end... and an Indian version.
I like this, mounted on the front. Nice classic look.
But wondering how it will look on my drifter. Is there enough free space, taking in account the travel of the front fender?

I have two of the Nautilus horns on my truck... they work fine and no one can see them. They do exaggerate the dB level in their advertising... they are not nearly as loud as they claim. They are about the same noise level as my trumpet horns on my Drifter. Still plenty loud. I have the noise level measuring gear from my OSH occupation... the distance from the horn matters in these measurements. They do their's at about 4 inches.... way too close.
But with two of them combined with my truck's stock horns it sounds like a train when I hold down the horn. A light tap and only the truck's OEM horns work... nice option in my mind. I have had them for about 2 years and they work fine... no problem with the weather.
Personally, I don't think they look good on my Drifter... nothing vintage looking about them. They are loud enough and folks have them mounted so they aren't noticeable unless you are looking. I ALWAYS see them... but I look pretty close at any Drifter I see!

The one I have is the harley replica, complete horn. I think it will go for around $50... haven't really looked at pricing for it. I just remembered we had it.

Do you have a price yet? I'd be interested to know how loud they are, but I like those and might be interested. I need to look closer at mine to see how much it would really be seen. I have an aftermarket chrome version, but that Indian horn is S H A R PThis is the one I was talking about...
