I've heard the arguments for loud pipes, but there are problems with running at that many dB all the time. Not the least of these problems is that people get used to it. No one notices one more loud motorcycle. You also must contend with unhappy neighbors and gradual deafness. A properly loud air horn solves all of these problems.
The Pro Pad Mini Beast is a good deal, and is likely to become a better deal with the updated Mini Beast 2, 3, 4, and 5 on the market. The original Mini Beast is a 128 dB air horn. This self contained air horn is housed in stainless steel and the mounting is designed to handle the vibration that comes with the territory. A 1-year warranty should set the mind at ease that it isn't going to crack off on your second long ride of the year.
Just a little larger than some of the stock horn casings, the housing of the Mini Beast is small enough that it won't bump your leg as you ride. The Mini Beast comes with all of the wiring, instructions, and hardware you'll need for installation, as well as an in-line fuse to protect your electrical.
There are a lot of good aftermarket air horns out there, so I would look around. The Mini Beast, however, is certainly all the volume you need and, because it's an early generation horn, you can pick it up for a little less than some of its competitors.
