Now that I have your attention... I inherited a '98 Softail Custom a couple of years ago, and it was only recently that I felt compelled to use the horn. And it was embarrassing.
It sounded like Road Runner ("Meep meep") on a moped. Certainly no where close to the heft that should be coming from a H-D.
While I obviously don't use it much, I would like something beefier, and I came across a retro, "Classic Horn" on the H-D site (see attached).
Anyone know anything about this horn? Does it sound like it belongs on a Harley? Anyone with any better recommendations if it doesn't?
The stock horn, was a full-sized car horn under the cowbell. I replaced Reaper's stock horn with a Fiamm Freeway Blaster (low note). It's very loud and doesn't sound like the Roadrunner!
