I dont. I still have the regular steering wheel horn. The trainhorn is on one of the aux switches.

i need one of those for my bike..........

You need a bigger bike!

the "toggle switch" that they give you in the kit i thought that wouod switch from city to train. if not what is it for any idea. i noticed that you mounted the horns on the lower pan in the front... did you make a certain pan or is that the stock skid plate that you drilled into.

Blue, did you just bolt the horns directly to the skid plate? Any issues with this yet as far as runs go?

Hey Mobile.

I attached the Horns to a sheet of galvinized sheet metal and then bolted that directly on top of the skid plate. It was a perfect fit and very stealthy.

Now to answer your second question; Yes!

The horns are fine at that location, but the frame mount location for the compressor and tank is a big no no!

If you do any serious offroading, its only a matter of time. My set-up got destroyed at Havoc, as a matter of fact, I just spend a hour yesturday removing what was left....

Bed mount is the only way to go IMO, unless you got a street queen.

would the pump and compressor fit in the engine bay in front of the radiator???

The compressor would fit, but I dont think the 2 gallon tank would.

Do you think if you'd have used the mounting bracket it would have been alright?

No, the Regulator box got ripped off, huge gash down the side of the tank and the compressor must have taken a direct hit against a rock.

Not only did all these parts get trashed, but in my removal process it was also obvious that if you want any life from this set-up, the frame mount is a bad spot. There was packed in mud/rocks from 2 years worth of offoading. When I was at Snoball, it froze solid from being completely impacted with snow/ice.

My experience should be a good lession for future installs.
