What an example of "loud pipes saves lives". Maybe we should create horns that sound like a throttle blip.

I assume these people are all crossing against a light or crossing after "don't walk" for them to get so spooked. Rightly so. :-)

You can buy small ones with a built in compressor. Mount it in a hard saddlebag...

It wouldn't be to hard to fab a bracket to mount a Wolo Bad Boy air horn down next to the shifter, close to the frame. If you have control extenders (Ed L. or Routy) it would be very easy to do. It will take longer to make a wiring harness using a relay to insure full power to the horn than it will to mount it. 8-)

Something like this I made to mount a Bad Boy on my friend Kens' 950. I used the floor board mounts, the Savage could use something off of the foot peg bolts. ;D

I did some checking this morning using a burnt out BadBoy horn I kept for mock-ups & there is room on a stock Savage to mount it right where the oem horn is. It looks like with a little modification you can do it using the original horns' mounting bracket. 8-)

I don't know what kind of clearance issues you might run into on a Ryca or bobber but if you want a louder horn it would be worth it to see. ;D

I prefer a loud horn to loud pipes. I don't have to hear it except when I need it & I can ride through neighborhoods without getting the PoPo called on me. We have enough people against us without deliberately antagonizing even more. :o

I clicked on the drifting clip after I watched this one, Daaaang!

One thing they fail to point out, the security guy who said "Theyre Fast! I cant catch them!" wasnt as fast as the cameraman who was in front of them,,, People tend to forget the camera has to be there somehow..LIke back in the days of Mutual of Omaha & these guys climbing a mountain & its OHH so hard & theyre working so HARD,, & theres some poor schmuck right there alongside them, lugging a camera!

That is one thing I love about Dirty Jobs. Right in the middle of an imposable situation, like hanging off a building, they spin it around and show the amazing camera men. Take a strong person to share the credit, and Mike Rowe shares it all the time.
