I've noticed the crooked horn on many new Rushmore bikes. Just poor quality control from the motor company. And yes, it is tricky to make it straight.
I fixed that in the parking lot of my dealer while I was switching some parts over from my 14 to 16. I was saying to myself how does one let a bike leave with a crooked *** horn cover. That is the first thing someone looks at for some reason. Three people said something to me before I even left the lot.
I saw a YouTube vid a while back of a guy with a rat bike who had mounted a real railroad locomotive three-horn set on one of the bags with a compressor & a small air tank inside the bag to make it work.
If ya want LOUD, I don't think you could beat that!
Not really a fan of the road-kill and other odds & ends he had lashed to the bike, but that horn really kicked ***!

Just poor quality control. Another thing I noticed on the touring bikes is that the toe and heel shift levers are always at different heights on every bike. Now granted, many will move them anyway, but you would think from the factory, they would all be set at the same position for the toe and heel shifter levers.
