Default HELP: Rivco Air Horns Mounting Issues
I'm having issues trying to mount Rivco Air Horns on my 2013 Ultra Classic. I already have Coolmaster Love Jugs installed where my cowbell is. So, the Rivco air horns won't fit there. I've seen some mounted on the crash bars and inside the saddlebags. But, I don't like either location. Any other ideas for other locations? People here have always been great to help others, so, I thought I'd ask for help here too.

No suggestion on a mounting location, but if you want real loud, get a second compressor and run a compressor on each trumpet. I did that on mine and it sounds like a big truck.

Thanks for the suggestion penmaker. But, I need to worry about mounting first.

The only other place I can think of is between the downtubes on the frame but I'm afraid that would block air to the front cylinder.

You are probably right and we all know how cool these things run. But, at least someone is trying to help me and I appreciate that.

Yes, I did Steve. He didn't answer his phone. So, I left him a message but he hasn't called me back. Just to let you know I won't be able to receive a call back before Monday. Thanks for checking on it. Take care and tell your wife hello for me too. I am a Love Jug Family Member. Thanks again, Jeff.

Sorry about that Jeff. Adam is preparing to leave for Daytona Monday morning and he's been out of communication the last few days. I finally got a hold of him just now and he will get back to you either by phone or right here so his answer can inform others with the same question. Meantime, since there are four or so versions of that fan, it would help if you e-mail photos of your model to adam@love-jugs.com so he can answer you specific to your situation. - Steve
