Might want to check into the new stock horns for the '14s and '15s. They are super loud. Finally Harley improved on an issue so many of us have had to turn to aftermarket products in order to provide a bit more safety while on the road with today's idiot drivers.

So I blast the horn, she jumps, and the phone flips out the window.

Select zone 5, extend, and fight another day!

Put a set on my Road Glide, and a set on my Pacific Coast!!
Have them on my Heritage Classic here in Arabia and people swirl off the road after I blow my Freight Train horn...Saved at least three times my life, I guess.

I bought the Harley airhorn back in 2010 when I bought my new StreetGlide. Over a period of two years I had them replaced 3 times under warranty. The last time I went in with them again I was told they were no longer available. I was given a refund of the full purchase price so I wont complain. I guess Harley finally decided they were junk. Dont know who made them for Harley. I liked them when they worked. I am thinking I might try the "new and improved" horn from Harley. They claim they are louder than previous stock horns. Most of the trumpet style horns I have seen just dont mount cleanly. Still searching.....
