'18 Slim need a better horn
 
The horn on my '18 Slim is pathetic. Anyone here replaced theirs with a better one (louder)? If so, can you share what horn you upgraded to and where you mounted it?

This is the Wolo Bad Boy rebadged, I love mine. It’s loud. I’m not impressed Harley wants $50 for the horn they should have put in at the beginning

The site says this horn is standard equipment on 14 and later models equipped with a side horn, so it might not be an advantage for him. My guess is if the OP wants anything louder it's probably going to have to be some kind of air horn.

I did like the horn on my XL1200C. That may be a option. I'll have to think about where I can mount it..

It's MUCH louder than the small horn he has.

They put smaller horns on the 2018 Slims than, say the FL models?

Al the new Softails have little round anemic horns.

I went with a Wolo 270-2T in 360hz, 115db. Its mounted where the OEM horn was. Little bigger and bolder, I like it.

Same problem with my ‘18 Slim. How you succeeded to dismantle stock horn? It was a PITA for me this afternoon.
