Mine started sounding anemic and HD replaced it. It still sucks.

Had the same problem with mine.

Went to Advance Auto and got a FIAMM Freeway Blaster Low tone
(F 72112) for around $15 and solved the problem.

It's a metal horn and a direct replacement.

My horn has always worked (the one time I tried to use it)

Check the laws in your state, I know in CA you must have a horn....and I prefer to have less reasons to get tickets

Hey Sammi - any photos of the horn on your bike?
I'm kind of curious as people seem to have trouble hearing my stock horn as well...

You will be heard with one of these

Premium Air Horn Kit

Sit up and get noticed. This Premium Air Horn is one of the loudest motorcycle horns available. The compact design has the compressor attached directly to the horn assembly, eliminating the need for separate mounting of the compressor and air hoses. The horn features an integrated chrome cover for a stylish look. Separate purchase of a vehicle-specific mounting kit is required.

HD Part # 69423-05

I agree with Clark that my Harley is by far the loudest motorcycl;e horn I ahve ever had stock. I put air horns on a bike I had a while back and people really hear me then. Mine works great, no working when it wants to thank god...
