I put the air horn on my 07 RKC and it gets the attention that I was looking for. It wakes people up. Regarding installation, I had the dealer take care of it as I had received the labor free when I had purchased the bike. Go for it.

I bought a Revco, took it apart. Mounted the horns on an inverted L bracket under the left floor board, bolted to the front 2 jiffy stand bolts. The compressor is under the seat in the cavity. The end of the trumpets are in front of the engine guard. It will wake up the neighbors. Dan

I heard HD's new air horn on an 07 Ultra a few days ago. LOUD !!
Nice tone. Don't let anybody tell you it sounds like an 18 wheeler coming but it is f-ing loud

No, it does not sound like an 18 wheeler. More like a tug boat, but, it sure wakes 'em up as they're drifting into your lane. As for the install, it took me about 2 beers=45 min.

I've had the HD air horn on my RK Classic for a year now and it hasbeen a good investment. It took me about 1.5 - 2 hours to install and has worked flawlessly. The Wife'sBoulevard now sports my Harley horn and cowbell.

There may be other bigger, better horns out there but mine has served me well anddrawn a lot of comments. About once a month it gets someone's attention...

The woman yacking on her phone anddrifting into my lane; The woman inching her way out from a side road and not looking my way; 8+ dogs loitering near the road; The woman flicking a cigarette out and missing my face by an inch (she almost ran off of the road when it blasted her!);The woman flicking a cigarette outand bouncing itpast my foot; etc... etc...

It seems like there is a theme here. It is very useful for stupid drivers and dogs.

Stebil Compact Air Horn is the same horn the HD rebadges and sells for three (3) times the price.

Ebay for about $35 plus some shipping

Hubby and I both have one. We like them. No, it doesn't sound like a semi, but it is loud. We're pleased.
