[QUOTE="Harald, post: 522707, member: 8054"] Facing the horn back would lessen the debris ingestion, but also lessen the sound volume. I don't know how much of a problem debris ingestion will be, but I definitely don't want to mute the horn in any way. That's one of the best things about this mount location: unobstructed ear piercing sound going straight forward! :devil: I remember someone posting that they had their horn mounted by the rear tire on another bike and didn't have any problems, so I wonder if debris ingestion is a big problem? I was forced to mount the air horns on my truck behind the front license plate and facing sideways. They are not as loud as they were when faced forward during a test blow, but I had no other mounting options besides the frame rail under the truck. I'm not sure that screen material would help. The crap most likely to go into the horn would probably be sand or dirt, which wouldn't be stopped by a screen unless it was so tightly woven that it also restricted sound. I'm not a acoustical engineer so maybe I'm all wrong, but it's what make sense to me. :wacko: [/QUOTE]
