Howards Hog Horn
I was just wondering if anyone has had any problens related to Howard Hog Horns on a touring bike.
I really like the horns but the braket ate my fuel line. I have modified the bracket and I hope it works.

RE: Howards Hog Horn
I used the rubber gromet (sp?) normally used for the stock cowbell horn, as I have heard that sometimes that solid mount breaks if you don't. Makes perfect sense, as that horn is pretty hefty. Sticks out a little further, but I shouldn't have any mounting failures.
The only other issue I had was a bug or some other unidenified object made its way into the small horn of the dynamic duo, and the horn ceased to function. Not a hard fix, simply removed the back, cleaned the diaphram, reassembled, and everything was golden. I bought the covers after that. Don't like the look quite as well, and they are cheap plastic, but I haven't had a horn failure since.

I like them. I did have to make a better bracket and move them back off my lowers. They have saved my butt on several occasions. I highly recommend them. Very loud and I like the chrome.

RE: Howards Hog Horn
I had the original set of Howards Horns break but they stood behind the and replaced them under warranty. When reinstalling the horns the company supplied an additional isolation mount which I didn't like so I used a new stock isolation mount under both the mount bracket and the cowbell/compressor cover. onlyproblem was now the choke cable had to be repositioned. The horns are now holding up great and are real effective on inattentive drivers.[sm=biker2.gif]
