Alarm system and air horn?
Hi all. I just finished installing a Rivco air horn on my 2016 Ultra.
I have been thinking about getting the siren module for my bike's security system.
I'm thinking if anyone messes with the bike and sets off the alarm, the air horns would work great to notify of intrusion.
Has anyone here had the siren module with an air horn on your bike?
If so and it's been set off, do you think it was effective?

I believe the siren module includes the actual siren. It's a separate system from the horn.
If it was attached to the horn, it would be extremely easy to disable without tripping the alarm.

Hi Edward, thanks for the reply. I didn't know that. I thought it would use the bike horn? So much for that idea.

I bought one of these. Works excellent and is much cheaper than Harley's. Fits in the same slot as the Harley one but isn't the same size. I put a dab of silicone adhesive on mine before I put it in to hold it in place and aligned the speaker with the factory speaker hole. They also make this same one with dual speakers but the single speaker version is plenty loud.

this isn't a bad thing. but the reason why it is so much cheaper than the hd version is that it isn't as loud, and it doesn't have a battery backup. that being said, before radio shack went out of business, i built my own for less than $10 and ran it for 7 years before trading that bike in.

Would be simple enough to wire up a relay on the siren leg to also power the air horn. True, the air line could be rather quickly ripped off, and most people ignore a car alarm, but it would make a heck of a racket.
