You're mostly paying for the convenience of having the connectors picked out for you. If I were doing it again, I don't think I'd get the wiring kit. <br/> The kit provided a reasonable start for me, but the included wires were too short, so I still ended up having to go buy more wire and connectors.

She was singing to a tune and never looked into the lane she was changing into, which happened to be mine. I blew my horn which had no affect at all. My factory motorcycle horn is about equivalent in volume to a person blowing their nose with a bad cold. My only option was to speed up and get in between her and the car on my left. Once I got clear I was determined to get a new horn. <br/><br/>I received my order in only 2 days using the standard ground shipping option. That was surprising since some of the stuff from Amazon lately has taken 2 weeks to get to me. I also ordered the optional wiring kit which came in the same box. I strongly suggest you get this kit unless you have a garage full of different gauge wires and connectors. <br/><br/>Installation, <br/>It took me 2 hours to install this horn. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NPRTII/ref=cm_cr_asin_lnk">Black Stebel Nautilus Compact Motorcycle Air Horn - Loud</a> First it's not small so you have to find a suitable mounting place. Forget about mounting it where the existing hockey puck size horn is. Then you have to buy or fabricate your own mounting bracket because it doesn't come with any way to attach it to the bike. The one screw it does come with is stated in the instructions as having to be torqued to 50 foot pounds. For a horn? There are no written wiring instructions with the horn, but there is with the optional wiring kit. But unless you want to be confused, don't read the instructions and instead follow the wiring diagram which is the same on both the horn and wiring kit. The outcome was good but it took a lot longer then I expected. If you are not good with electrical wiring expect to spend even more time. <br/><br/>Bottom Line: <br/>THIS HORN IS LOUD! It does exactly what it says it does. It corrects what I believe is a major safety flaw on most bikes and some cars. <br/><br/>Why not five starts: <br/><br/>The written instructions are confusing.
