Too bad they don't make a red or bright orange horn button. I may have to try and paint one.

I just bought a 2013 Super Glide and the horn seems reasonably load. I was looking at it last night and noticed the horn opening faces down. Seems to me it should be facing forward? What gives?

I also have mine mounted on the left down tube. I used a handle bar clamp from a drink holder and mounted the horn to it. It is mounted quite solid and the relay is mounted up under the cow bell. I ran one hot wire from the batter to the relay then one wire up to the horn. I grounded it to the engine guard mount. I have had it on there for about 6 years.

A friend of mine has a 2008 Roadster and it is mounted on the front of the frame, below the coil. Seems like a much better place to me than the side. I may move mine one day.

Using the Internet won't fry my electrical.

OR make the turn signals on the left side, since it's already awkward to use the right one...for me anyway.

The horn was made by Les Brown of metalartsinc.com. The website is no longer available so he is out of business. He's a scumbag. The sad part is that he makes very good looking and functioning horns.

I purchased the horn online from Les. Six weeks later, no horn. My calls and emails went unanswered. Finally got the credit card company to refund my purchase. I was back to square one. A year and a half later I was surfing the web, came across the website Krome Kandy and there it was. If I hadn't found it, I was thinking of having a custom horn made similar to it.

I appreciate the compliment.
