Default Weak Horn Bracket?
I've seen a few posts about this, but nothing with a solution. My horn mounting bracket snapped in half last night and left my horn dangling on my primary. I'm obviously going to get a new bracket, but has anyone ever found a solution to this long term so that I don't have to replace the bracket over and over?

Mine did it and I ditched the horn. How many times have you ever used your horn? If a car doesn't hear your pipes they won't hear that dinky horn.

I've had mine break on my Ultra twice. I just bought an aftermarket one and it seems a bit thicker. So far I have 5,000 mikes on it.

Any idea which one you bought?

My fxdls bracket broke at 5k. Been debating whether to put the warranty bracket on or to just tuck the wiring into the frame and clean it up.
