I went with red (they didn't have orange) Black will look best on yours red would clash with your paint.

Because it is useless and ugly at the same time

You boneheads are forgetting the most important reason to have a horn.

Honking at cute girls...

The horn on my Roadglide is reasoably loud. I wish it was as loud as a freight train horn. However the problem is nnot the loudness of the horn but the placement of the button. It could be with the rider... Recently I have had 2 close calls. One a truck came across the center lane of a 6 lane hwy. and up the off ramp. In doing so it forced me up the ramp beside of it. It was so close that my wife kicked the truck twice. In my panic of keeping from being run over I tried the horn only to hit the signal light, I was sort of occupied with forcing my bike to make the unintended turn. The truck never knew he was pushing me until we were out of the turn and going up the ramp!
Again I had some old lady run a red light and try to take me out and I could only hit my signal light instead of the horn. Better horn button location? Perhaps more practice to be ready for panic horn blowing!

Everyone isn't. I replaced mine with a WoLo air horn. Just a blip on it stops most from drifting into my lane.

I actually wouldn't mind having a horn....as long as someone could hear it, like yours. How hard was it to install?
