Air Horns?
Bought my first Harley about 14 months ago, an 03 Heritage, with a Carb. It was, (and still is)in showroom condition, 2,500 miles on it. I am now just shy of 11k miles and it has been totally trouble free. Gotta get it in for its overdue 10K checkup soon, prolly put some new tires on it then, and maybe a new battery. The tread looks like it would be ok for anothe couple thous. miles and the battery has never failed me...better safe then sorry I figure.
It came withPython slip ons, lots of other littleafter market goodies. Its a "Gold Key" package with lots of factory chrome and a flock of eagles all over it. Other than a luggage rack and a T bag I have managed to resist putting anything else on it.....up untill now anyways.
I really hate the wimpy sounding factory horn on the bike. I really like the look of "Howard's Horns". Ya know...them little chrometrumpets that are supposed to sound like a semi? You are supposed to be able to pop off the horn cover and replace the factory horn with a little compressor. Then put the stock cover back on. Hook up a relay under the seat, to the battery, swap some wires around and thats it.
A question for you guys:
*Has anybody here installed something like this?
I really think a loud horn can possibly save your ***, but I hate the thought of shorted out wires,dead battery, or any other potiential grief that might come from installing this set up!

RE: Air Horns?
I had a Howard Horn, worked fine lasted a long time and fits as advertised.
However, I didn't care for the sound that much. It was loud but too high pitched for my tastes. It was the short trumpet. I used to have fun putting my hand over it and hitting the switch to make it do strange noises.
Look into Stebels -same horn as the HD air horn and several other aftermarket types but cheaper.
