(Getting caught up on my email -- 748 new messages on the ST list alone!)

No, they don't really need to be protected, but you probably don't want 
them totally exposed because the electrical connectors could eventually 
get grunged.

Without fabricating a custom mounting bracket, I couldn't see any way to 
cleanly mount the horns in the opening. However, they really don't need 
to be cleanly pointing out of some opening in the fairing -- since 
they're designed to be mounted somewhere under the hood of a car, 
they're plenty loud.

And, yes, I have already had a couple of opportunities to test their 
effectiveness with great success.
