 Much Better Looking Than Expected! August 30, 2008
There was a slight problem with my first horn, but Biker Hiway replaced it within 3 days with no questions asked.
Installation: I put this on my VN900 Classic. I found a brace piece welded at the top left of the frame on the left side that was triangular in shape and easy to drill through without weakening anything structurally. By placing this on the LEFT side, the horn faces back as recommended in the instructions. One hole, longer bolt, one wrench. I took off the old horn and used that bolt to mount the relay. Crimped on connectors for two short leads going to the horn and added a 14ga wire from the battery, through a 20-amp fuse, to the relay.
It looks totally professional and is out of the way, with the horn flares and the input port facing backward so they're less likely to suck up water in the rain. It's completely out of the way of my legs and knees.
Performance: Outstanding. Nuff said. Loud, shrill, and commanding.
Biker Hiway: Seldom do you find a vendor like this one. I was certain I'd have to pay shipping to return the item and then shipping to get the new part delivered. This has happened with items for me before. Even a huge TV one time, and that did not amuse! Horrible to have to pay double or triple shipping just because you were sent something defective! NOT AT BIKER HIWAY! A simple email to the customer service people and the new unit was on its way the same day.
Four stars for the horn, simply because the first unit had a short internally.
Ten stars for Biker Hiway because they are immaculate!
from Utopia, TX... Have a goodun!
Freaking loud! June 15, 2008
This horn is very loud. It will get you noticed and maybe save you from an accident.It mounted very easily on my '05 Suzuki C-90 using the stock horn mounting bracket. The chrome is a nice added touch. If you're looking for a loud horn that is easy to install, this is it!

This horn could save your life. It is not as loud as I expected so I took one star away from them. But, make no mistake... THIS HORN IS WAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY LOUD. People in cars with the radio on WILL HEAR YOU. 139dB has been equated to a jet engine. The horn is not that loud. Well worth $50, though. Pretty easy to install, too.
Another reviewer claims it is 4X quieter than advertised and that Stebel ads are misleading. That makes it seem worse than it is. I agree with him that Stebel needs to measure their sound pressure according to industry standards. On the other hand there is much debate about the correlation between decibels and "loudness" perception. Some say the difference between 100dB and 110dB seems like 10% louder.
I would not say this horn is 4X quieter than I expected. I would say it is about 20% quieter than I expected.

Fit perfectly on my virago with stock brace I just had to leave out rubber bushing. Alot louder than factory horns all bikes should have horns this loud. Turns heads and chases deer out of the road.
Good product, but some misleading advertising February 6, 2008

I added this horn to my new touring motorcycle in addition to the factory horn. The manufacturer advertises 139 dB for this product, but if you go to the manufacturer's site and search the fine print, it was measured at 4 inches. Normally, audio products are measured at a distance of 1 meter, not 4 inches.
If you measure this horn at the canonical 1 meter, it is @ 120 dB.
10dB difference is perceived by the human ear as being 2X as loud. 20dB difference would be perceived by the human ear as being 4X as loud. The difference between 139dB and 120dB would be perceived @ 4X as loud, but in this case, it is @ 4X quieter than what was advertised using standard measuring techniques.
My factory horn is a lower frequency than the 2 higher frequencies in this horn, so the combination made a 3 tone horn. The combination of the factory and aftermarket horn makes a notable difference from the stock, but not what I figured I would get by the 139 dB claims.
