I just installed a Denali SoundBomb Mini on my 2020 Heritage for $35.00
Sounds like a horn should sound, not like the Road Runner!
Can use original horn bracket or if you have an engine guard like I do, use the screw on the front of the USB caddy….one screw & super simple!
There are a few other threads on this with suggested options, but the SB Mini is a good inexpensive one with a big sound.

True? Here's exactly what he said.
"So the Mounting Stud length is 3/8" and is a M6 thread. But that stud can not be removed/replaced as the Mini Horn is a sealed unit. The Mini Horn is a "Plug-N-Play" install design for motorcycles outfitted with OEM Horns that have a blade style electrical connector from the factory wiring harness to the Horn. I believe the HD Heritage has a blade style connector at the Horn if I am not mistaken, and is not similar to the Touring Bikes with the Horn fitted on the side of the motor - correct? Feel free to send a couple pictures of your Horn to confirm."

I got a 2020 Heritage like you and I'm thinking of getting this horn. They advertise it as a plug and play for the 2020 Heritage. I heard some different stuff and emailed them. The Denali guy said it was plug and play for the bikes that have a "blade style electrical connector from the factory wiring harness to the Horn."

If you have room you can even use the stock HD bracket after removing the one & only nut holding the stock horn to the bracket.
With my engine guard I did not have enough room for the mini so after removing the stock horn, I mounted the new horn & bracket to the front screw holding the USB caddy/console. No re-wiring required.

Great Idea & Question
The silver pine/spruce color combo is one the best looking, unusual colors HD has ever offered. Loved just looking at your bike. Question, was the OE wiring long enough to reach the alternate horn placement or did you have to splice in an extension? Great idea for a real horn.

The wires were 'just' long enough to not require splicing.
However to make it work I had to mount the new horn with the open bell facing to the right rather than straight down.
Not a big deal for me, Ill just make sure not to blast water into it while washing.

Using a horn to do that, while understanding the speed/ease with which it works, is something that must be experienced to believe.

Personally, once I finally decided on a late-model Heritage, choosing a color became the next oppressive task. Last year, I had seen a Kinetic Green done up in chrome and I knew that was a finalist. That is ultimately what I purchased.Before that however, I saw a chrome 107 Spruce (another color finalist) locally and even went as far to ask the sales person to pull it outside so I could see it in the sun. Looked awesome! But wasn't for me. The color is a head turner though!
