Default Need louder horn

Stock horn on 2020 Hertage Softail sounds like Honda 50. What’s a good loud horn that is a simple install?

All a horn is good for is passing a state vehicle inspection.

FreewayBlaster is a good one. I actually have two (Hi and Low tone), but you have to use a relay to drive two of them.

Denali SoundBomb is excellent if you can figure out where to put it. They also do a "split" version where the horn and compressor are separate, which gives a bit more flexibility for mounting.

I just installed a Denali SoundBomb Mini on my 2020 Heritage for $35.00
Sounds like a horn should sound, not like the Road Runner!
Can use original horn bracket or if you have an engine guard like I do, use the screw on the front of the USB caddy….one screw & super simple!
There are a few other threads on this with suggested options, but the SB Mini is a good inexpensive one with a big sound.

Same here...great horn! On my 2020 Fatboy, no modification with the exception of extending one wire and I painted the back of the horn semi flat black (it came silver).

Installed the Denali Soundbomb mini today. 10 minute install; all the difference in the world!
