Oh, yeah, it's a set of Nathan Airchime horns, nice clean install...
But there's one huge problem with this, something you don't see in the
picture - Where in the hell is the driver of this little bike going to
get enough air to drive these monsters?

Thanks. Of course, building something like this is as much fun as using it.
I used an air compressor from an 81 Wing's suspension, 2 old propane torch
tanks as air tanks, a solonoid valve, a 140 PSI shut-off for air bag
suspension. I didn't lose any cargo capacity as it's all outside of the
bags. I get about 5 seconds continuous blast (an eternity) or about 7 short
hoots in succession, and then about 5 minutes for refill. I will be looking
to scrounge a better compressor, but don't want to use all my charging
capacity. I have an area above the center stand where i can install another
small tank, but am looking for something to fill the shape.
The system could all be removed in 20 minutes If i get tired of it (not
likely) and when I install an 81 Wing's rear swing arm and final drive on
this 76 Wing in a few weeks, I will be able to use the 81's air shock system
without the usual welding of different lower ends to the shocks. This combo
will give me a higher gear ratio for better mileage, and lengthen the
wheelbase 2.5 inches.
Tomorrow I am leaving on a ride for the weekend, so i will be able to
compare my mileage with that of my trip 2 weeks ago and see what kind of
change there is. I could follow aerodynamic practice and put a simple spike
in front of each hooter to split the airflow, but the numbers will tell me
if it's worth the effort.
