this is my second one (original + replacement). are the stock harley horns just problematic? any suggesitons? trying to keep the original horn on the bike without having to go with one of those oversided trumpeted air horns. thanks in advance.

 

The HD horn is next to worthless. I have purchased them over-the-counter that would not blow. There is a screw that you can "tinker" with, but a HD mechanic told me what they did was throw them against the wall as hard as they could and this would sometimes do the trick. I have fixed a few by squirting some WD-40 down in there and let it soak for a while. This worked for a buddy of mine last month.

He!!....you can shout louder than they blow anyway.

 

may have to go aftermarket since HD horns are subpar. Like to keep my bike looking stock as possible; anyone know of any aftermarket that look like HD but are reliable?

 

There was a recent revision my dealer told me about 4 months ago when my horn of 1 year went kaput....What The Heck.. I bought another stock one and it works fine....

Someone recomended one from pep boys but there was something about it (I forget) that I didnt like.....just buy another one...support the cause..

 

For goodness sake....take the actual horn out of all that chrome and go find an auto horn that will bolt in there. The cost of the horn is in the chrome...the actual horn looks like the one on my Kubota tractor....it don't blow either.
