Rivco Air Horn, looks great on the harley and loud. Mounts to stock horn bolt and reuses stock wiring.

I installed Howard's Duals and they're absolutely great. Even with the dirt guards on I've had no problems being heard. Installation was fairly easy but you do have to install a horn relay. No big deal, though.

I originally bought the Stebel (Wollo etc.) but didn't like the way it looked or mounted so it got installed in my Jeep where it does a much better job than the stock horn.

Any recommendations on a loud as hell airhorn. And I mean loud.
Are there any out there which mount directly to replace the existing horn?

I read the thread about being cutoff and the experience some of you have had laying on the horn. You've convinced me.
I have the MetalArts horn. Bolted right up to the stock mounts and used the stock wiring. Works fantastic. Les at MetalArts was also very easy to work with.

These are what I'm running on my 1996 Heritage...Have caused many to jump out they seat!...I took a buddy out there and he installed 'em on the spot and gave us a tour of his operation.Him and his wife are cool. She puts 'em together. He slaps 'em on.

I just installed the Rivco horns.I dont know who/how the DB is measured but the Rivco is much louder than the Stebel.Also,contrary to some posts,you DO use the stock horn wires but you DO have to run additional wires as the stock horn wiring cant handle the higher Amperage required by compressor...took me about 30 minutes on a hot afternoon to do the install...best price I found was on EBAY..$164.95 shipped
