I had an idiot run a stop sign today right in front of me at 63 / 7 north at the Citgo station in Falls Village today. Never even slowed down until I played him a little tune.
I could have stopped in time and let him go, but it was much more fun to scare the mortal s**t out of him with the 139 dB air horn. Hopefully he'll slow to at least 20 MPH the next time he runs a stop sign.
Thanks Stebel folks

A Stebel air horn The cylinder in the photo is a little air compressor that winds up enough pressure to send 139 dB out the two horns on the bottom. They're easy to mount, in around an hour or so. http://www.stebel.it/stebel/index2007.htmClick products > electropnuematic > nautilus compact series They're pretty popular 'round here, and usually retail for around $30 or $40  Yesterday was the third time in 15 months that the horn has earned it's keep. Considering that a fender bender to a cager is a potential fatality to us, the factory "meep meep" horn had to go.

I want one of those powerful low frequency air horns that causes involuntary bowel movements in cagers.

No you don't, that low end stuff gets everybody in range including the trigger man 
It's lucky the officer only got his front wheel involved, a second earlier and the cager would be facing manslaughter charges.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

John, I was thinking more of the Motorist in this case. Think of it as a forewarning: "ATTENTION: YOU ARE ABOUT TO SCREW YOURSELF SO UNBELIEVABLY ROYALLY, THAT YOU WILL BE LUCKY TO GET OFF WITH A PISTOL WHIPPING AND 20 YEARS BEHIND BARS WITH A GUY NAMED BUBBA! NOW, HAVE A NICE DAY!"

True, but a loud horn is a gentle reminder to cagers invading your space that you're there.
Like the car last week trying to merge into my lane. A good push of the horn and they backed off, and stayed far back afterwards.
You could tell they had made a mistake by not looking, and felt chastened.

Hey Bucky, do you have a picture of how/where you've got that mounted?

No pic, but it's bolted to a piece of scrap flat stock that's bolted behind one of the four front peg mounting pipe bolts. (Or whatever they're called) You know - those two pipes that horizontally traverse the lower front of the engine. The horn is to the right side of the frame, about a foot or so off the ground, just inside the exhaust down pipe. It probably doesn't make a lot of difference, but I wanted the little horns to face forward for maximum effect.
A much easier way is to just mount the horn where the factory horn goes, like many folks do. I just didn't like it there for some odd reason. A length of black fuel line is lashed to the underside of the frame with wire ties to serve as a dry air inlet.
