Howard Horns (don't have the website, but a quick search should do it).

They are air air horns that come in 3 sizes and even the smallest, single horn really does the job. They are USA made and very high quality and easy to install. I had a guy pull out in front of me just yesteray and the horn really got his attention.

Ride safe.

I ordered the Howard Dynamic Duo air horn. Dealer did not tell me that it does not fit an Ultra with lowers in place. I modified the mount and got the baby on. It is massive and will shatter windows. Really loud. If you have lowers you might want to order the next smaller size. I like the lower sound. Sounds like a train. Good luck. Jeff

I use Rivco horns myself. I have had them on the bike for three seasons now and they are reliable and loud. There are a number of others that are on the market now. Rivcos are air horns that use a compressor. I also tried wolo horns and howard horns. Neither lasted very long with the vibrations on my engine. But the Rivcos do.

There are also a bunch of very loud non air horns. If my rivcos ever quit I will try one of them.

I put on the mini beast. It fits where the stock cow bell is. 128 db. Looks pretty good too and is easy to install.

Default RE: New Horn HELP!!!!

Ihad those dual chrome air horns (180.00 installed at a MC event) that mount where the stock horn is. Even fit nicely next to the lowers. But in less than a year I went thru 2 compressors and their a pain in the but to clean where the elements get inside the trumpet opening.(even with their covers on)Let alone their plastic. I ride 1992 flhtp police special. Ive a custom 2 up seat instead of the cop solo air cop seat. Under the seat there's an enough room to mountthe new set and compressor. Which by the way I purchased at Harbor Freight and they were 34 dollars and 135DBL's. They'll remove the paint off cars when I blast em!. I'm thinking that back in the days when they came out with the 1st automobiles. They always, too this day have the horns facing forward. The horns I got, theres no need to show them nor have them out and pointed towards the front.
