Default Howards horns install

I got my horns in today and went right to the garage to install them. Come to find out the bolts that it came with are too big to fit into the Hanging bracket of the stock horn cover! Did they send the wrong bolts by mistake or is there something I need to do with these? I looked at the tech tips on the website and saw they were closed at 5 eastern so it was too late to call. I was hoping someone would have some input/experience with this install so I can get these on and start air horning the crap out of all the crazy cagers here in the Hampton Roads area of VA!!!!!

Thanks in advance for the help!

I can't tell you anything about the hardware but I know where you are coming from when you refer to those crazy cagers. I have the Harley air horn and I use it often. I think I'm beginning to get Carpal horn finger! lol!

Sorry man, I don't have any help with the horns hardware supplied by Howards!

But you could just take a drill motor and bit and reem out the holes to the right size or stop at HomeDepot or Aceand get some new fasteners.

And,I'm laughing with you about those VA Cagers.... IMHO I don't think it will be loud enough to break them out of their tranz!I'm almost run over daily!With or with out the bike!

This area is about stupid when it comes to drivers.

I put mine on a couple weeks ago and as Ram mentioned you can just drill out a couple bracket holes to get them to fit....


Nice horns but onebad part was at first I found myself waiting for those horn moments instead of thinking about evasive maneuvering... I gotthat out of my head and still had an excellent blast the other morning when I came into the neighborhood. A POS ancient Toyota PU pulled out in front of me and then the driver was just wandering all over the road looking for something in the seat next to him. He wouldn'thave seen me even if I was a semi. He jumped out of his seat and pulled off the road when I blasted him....
