The horn is a standard replacement horn, low tone, from Pep Boys. It is powered by the same 12V SLA battery as runs my 46 LED truck taillight. The battery is inside a plastic tool box that is strapped to my rear rack. The taillight is bolted to the back of the tool box/battery case. The battery is made by Vector Manufacturing and can be gotten at Best Buy in the auto accessory section. It does take a special Europeon fuse which is a pain. Battery $20 + tool box $7 + horn $10 + horn button $4 + truck LED taillight $36. Until I broke it I also ran a 3w LED emitter ($56) on the same battery. The taillight gives enough light that I can see a red glow in my rear view mirror. I'll rework the front light for next winter, because this is the best system I've used yet. My NiteRider digital did not last a full season, my first NiteHawk system was great, but the replacement battery is $90. Of course this system is heavy (and very ugly). On the other hand, it is relatively cheap and has at least 2 components that blow any commercial products out of the water. I'll try to get some pictures next week.
