Cool, blue! I was happy with mine because they hooked up to the stock wire, no fuse problems, good sound, loud.
Where did you put them? I'm not happy with where I have mine, they might block air flow. Since the cowling is all off anyway, I can change that easy.

Did mine a tad different-removed the stock horn bracket.Mounted one horn to the right hole,and then the other on the other side.The brackets they came with worked fine.I have the bracket(s)(where the bolt hole is on the one end)attached with the stock bolts in the triple tree-with the horns in front of the radiator.They're sitting in there flat,pointing down at the fender.Like yours-without the stock bracket.Can't see any way they will interfere with the airflow.Just had to make sure they didn't rub on the rad-the wiring caught it just a hair,so I bent the blades upwards at a 90 degree.Clears just fine.
When you're looking straight at the frontend,you don't see em.Only if you look from under.(I've no idea why the brackets appear to be different colors!Or the bolts-they're both the same!!!Weird in the pic!Plenty of fender clearance as well.

Here's to Blue and Privateer for their Fiamm high and low note horn idea! I installed them today and they are amazing. What a great cost effective upgrade that takes little time to install. Thanks.

You can get the horns separately, one high note and one low note or buy a pair in a kit, which is what I did (Fiamm Dual HK9 High Performance Motorcycle Horn Kit). You can find them at many places, from auto parts stores, to Amazon, to a motorcycle site like www.ridesafer.com. Google "fiamm horn motorcycle" and you will see many places.
Some come with a new horn relay, but the horns only draw 4 amps each. Wire them in parallel and the total current draw is less than the rated 10 amps for the horn circuit at 8 amps. It seems to work fine and they are freakin loud.

I notice the instrument display dims when I lay on them, lol. So they do draw some juice. But I've got a pair, hi and lo, in parallel hooked directly into the existing horn connectors. Didn't even change the fuse for a bigger one.
Yes, they are nice and loud, but the sound is a good one, too.
I'm about to put my ZX10 carbon fiber fender on, soon as I get my carbon fiber upper fairing back on, so expect them to be even louder with less fender blocking the sound.
