Default Air Horn

Horn died on the Heritage. I want to go with louder. I want a small air horn.

Anyone got any suggestions.

Check out the MiniBeast from ProPad. I heard the thing yesterday and was very surprised at how loud it was. Just didn't have the two hundred on me or else I would have one.

I have a suggestion on an air horn NOT to buy and that would be Howard's Horns....the smaller ones. I bought them and they look pretty good.....nice chrome finish, but the mount they give you looks like crap after it's attached so I made my own....with black wrinkle paint....looked a lot better. Horn worked really well for about 12 or 15 "toots" or "wonks" on it and then the air compressor crapped out. I installed it the way it should be with the little cheap, plastic relay but I included an inline fuse....which it shoud have and they don't give you.
I bought it about a year ago, bench tested it when I got it ....worked fine then...and misplaced the receipt so I'm stuck with it. I removed it, bench tested it again and the compressor is fooked. Guess I'll buy a new compressor for it.
I have an FLSTC also, so that's why I went with Howard's. For that price they charge, an inline fuse and a better relay at least should be in order. And how about a decent compressor.

I used the single horn relay harness from here to wire it up.

Go to Northern hardware and get the BOLO BAD Boy chrome horns. About $69 bucks, easy install using a relay and louder than hell. It has a round cover on it that you need to put a dab of silicone on the back and cure the small rattle there. I made a cager move over two lanes when I blew the horn with his passenger window down and him on my left.
