RE: Quiet horn
THIS IS YET ANOTHER RECALL!!
I had the same problem with my 05 Ultra. was on road trip to Groton CT and horn sounded very strange. Also very ineffective for I-95. They replaced it right away. I still had the problem and went to local stealer. I was informed that the dealer has to test all grounds and wires, replace if found faulty. I was found faulty on the harness, fixed in about 2 hours and works fine.
another hidden recall from the Hardly dependable company

RE: Quiet horn
I have a 2006 RKC and the horn is pretty loud. I wonder if there are any recalls on cruise control, my local dealer is still trying to get mine to work. They were supposed to bring in a HD rep yesterday to help solve the problem. (I better POST this)

RE: Quiet horn
same thing on my '05 RKC.
dealer suggested loosening mount and re-tightening to insure a good ground. worked for me.
Any body tried a loud horn to replace stock? Want to try something to get more flinching from unattentive cage drivers but don't want to go with air horns.

RE: Quiet horn
On my 06 SG, at delivery from the dealer he was showing me all the functions, and the horn had that stuffed-sock sound. He said, "Oh, no, not another." Then told me that 3 out of 5 horns don't work properly on new bikes. He also said the replacement horns all have to be tested before being installed, and that MOCO has "notified the supplier" about the problem.

RE: Quiet horn
I hated the stock meep meep horn - even when it works its best it still sounds like it belongs on a VW - I just installed the mini-beast II on mine and so far I love it -Very authoritative sound and an easy install - I did not want the twin horn look and this kept me close to stock - A huge improvement - kk
