For those of you at bike nite tonight that heard and then wanted to know all about my horn upgrade, here's the link to the site where I bought it. It is a Stebel Nautilus Air Horn and puts out 139db.

I replaced the stock horn with this one just before my trip to California. I knew that I'd probably need something a bit louder than my Herbie-horn when dealing with 6 lanes of freeway traffic.
Fact is, it only got used in the tunnels on my way down. Guess it's better to be prepared though!
A relay comes with it, and you need to wire it in otherwise you'll burn up your trigger. I wired mine directly to the battery with some beefier wire. I had to create a bracket for it out of mild steel, but was able to hide everything behind the left fairing. The unit is very compact!
Do not, I repeat, DO NOT lite this thing off in your garage. Please Please take my word for it!
