Horn From He!!. Sweet Mother
The horn died on my Heritage. It was in warranty but I wanted loud. I WANTED AN AIR HORN.
I certainly didn't want a euro sound. The Wolo and others sounded like a french cop. I finally heard a sound clip of the Harley air horn. I haunted ebay till I found one and the installation kit for less than Harley wanted for the horn.
I just got it installed. When I hit that button I liked to have soiled myself. Birds left the trees in the front yard. I still haven't found the outside cat. Sweet Mother it was loud. It sounded like a semi about to come into the Harley shack.
If you want loud I can highly recommend the Harley Air Horn.

I got the premium Kit 69423-05. It probably is made by Wolo. But it is loud doesn't sound anything like them.
They advertise theirs as a train sound. It reminds me more of a european police car with out the warbel.
The Harley sounds like a semi. It's a "Get the Hell Out of My Way" sound.
Not counting the fiasco with the old horn vibration bushing. About 1 1/2 hours. And most of that was draining and R&R of the tank. You have to buy a model specific installation kit.
Oh yea, a little note. If you hook it up and it sounds wimpy the wires are crossed.
As for costing a lot more. The wolo might be loud but it sounded like crap. I didn't want the '69 volkswagen on steroids sound.
When I hit that button I would have gladly paid retail for it if I had to.
Harley's price is $186 for the horn and $86 for the installation kit. I paid $110 for the Horn and $50 for the kit.

I too wanted a deep loud sound from my horn... I want that texting *** to think that a truck has come up along side while he was too busy to watch the road. I bought a WOLO 415-MC horn set $59 delivered and it is the loudest I have heard yet..... Had to fashion my own bracket, but it was a piece of cake.

Mini Beast, Mini Beast II, Wolo Bad Boy, Stebel Nautililus, all the same horns from Italy. I believe the HD Premium is included. There are many HDF threads on these horns over the last few years. The difference in DB claims is from each company measuring from a different distance.

It came off and the stock cowbell is back on. YMMV. Good Luck with it
