Air horns...who's got em?
#51
I have Rivco air horns on my '09 Ultra Classic. The only thing I don't like about them is they are in the place where I want to mount a fan.

I used the Wolo Bad Boy and used the mod listed on here to split the horn from the compressor, mounted the horn part under the stock horn cover and mounted the compressor under the Tour Pak. Almost Horned a guy coming into my lane last summer right off the road, lol.

Looking to purchase a louder horn myself, looking a the Harley one, but my concern with all the air-horns is, Has anyone ever pressed the button and got nothing but AIR, no sound? which has me thinking, AIR or ELECTRIC

Stebel Nautilus = Wolo Bad Boy = HD air Horn = Mini Beast 1,2,3,4 with a nice chromed metal cover. All the same horns. Difference in the DB ratings is one is measured at 4" & others at 4'. I have 2 Mini Beast 2's. Excellent horns & simple to hook up.

Things die. My electric horn died. I replaced it with the Harley Air Horn. Loud as hell and sounds like a semi or train. Not a volkswagon on steroids like some of the other air horns.

Wolo bad boy horns suck, Harley Stebel horn sucks, any horn that plugs into your stock wires without a relay is sure to suck cause to make more sound you need to use more power hence the relay. RIVCO was the first to design and manufacture the air horn for a motorcycle in 1978!! RIVCO AHHD 128db horns have a 2 year warranty and are top notch all metal construction for around 200 bucks, I like the ELCHRN electric horns (these are plastic chrome horns that kick out 118 db and for $79.95) wiring kit that makes it alomost plug and play part number EH275 sells for $39.95. I have had the ELCHRN "Magnum" horns on my 2006 Street Bob since 2005 they have worked flawlessly with NO issues!! I also have RIVCO's AHHDBK horns on my bike (yes I have two sets of horns!) whan I blast my horns people sometimes pull over to the shoulder of the road!!

rivco on 2 bikes no problems with either loud but not quite the deep semi/firetruck but they work. tried the harbor freight knock of of the nautalus horn and it dies within a week. Kurakin make some long electric trumpet that mount behind the saddlebags too that look interest , electrics that sound more like a air horn
