I never did it to a biker but a friend of mine had someone hit trains horns on him while on a bike and he warned me that it could get ugly. I have used mine to scare dumb drivers and it works well. People in my neighborhood dont walk in the middle of the road anymore when they see my truck coming. LOL
I cant remember the brand of mine but they came from Airhornsoftexas.com and are the 3 horn chrome. They are not as loud as horn blasters but are still very loud (1/2in lines and 200psi helps).

Re: Air horns

not to steal this thread but have you guys ever had any issues with the sound "coming back at you" with the under the hood mounts? i have a set of airhorns off of a semi that i have been thinking about putting on my truck, but can't deside what the best location would be with minimal modifications would be.

Re: Air horns

Only thing I've noticed is that the horns are considerably louder when the hood is open and not acting as a muffler for the sound. I don't have a hood liner on my burb which is a good thing because it would muffle the sound even more. Yet another reason to remount them to the drivers side front frame rail just behind the front bumper.

Re: Air horns

Location wise on a truck... to me, Since I've never owned a truck without a toolbox... would be some sort of open yet enclosed (expanded metal as an example) box undernieth the toolbox on the drivers side facing the tailgate....

Re: Air horns

So...I'm walking down the street today eating tortilla chips, and this biggg freakin' lifted Ford turns around the corner, and as custom, I wave and give him a nod, but recieve no wave back. Instead, right after he passes me, he blows his freakin' train horn and scares my tortilla chips outta thier bag. And you know, I've wanted these tortilla chips for a week and just spent 4 bucks on 'em, so I spun around with the intention to give him a little hand gesture showing my disaproval, but he had a wheel chair lift in the back of his truck, so I let it go. Still can't decide if he was trying to play with me or just being a dick, but being a Ford I'll bet on a hole.
