I was following & stopped quickly awaiting for more to appear.

As I recall the safety thing is an urban legend at best, a total non-
starter at worst. After all, sound is directional; alerting the people
(and deer) that you've already passed to your presence is not exactly
useful. The horn's mounted on the front for a reason :)
I see deer around me all the time; they aren't spooked by my un-
baffled exhaust. They are only sometimes spooked by flashing high
beams. The horn is only slightly more effective. Literally, the little
bastards just stand in the middle of the street. Presumably the deer
population survival strategy is to breed like mad and accept high road
losses.
"Like the sound" is entirely different. I like to hear that my
engine's running smoothly, too. (After all, it's a contrast to all the
H-D's around which have that "slightly out of tune" note - sharp-flat
sharp-flat sharp-flat). We all make a deal with the devil with respect
to how loud, how early, and how often.
Anyhow, I was talking to an online retailer who found some replacement
V&H megaphone baffles for me; I'm going to order two, see if they fit
in my stock exhaust, and if not simply replace the single one on my
V&H street megaphone. Will report back with the results.
Ciao,
Marco
