looks familiar

That is my current setup. I bought my horn at HD dealer. Concerned with any water entering the horn? I drilled the tiniest hole in the lowest portion of the horn.

OEM horn

I had moved my OEM horn to that location (See the How to Section) and had trouble with it not working after sitting with a hot engine for 1/2 hr stops. The replacement horn (which looks like yours, I got from HD) totally fixed that probem and is much louder with a better, less wimpy, tinny tone.

Hello, couple of questions

Hello, couple of questions about your HD horn...did you need a relay with it? and do you know the part number of the one you used? (I'm assuming there may be several HD horns)And last ( I guess this makes 3 questions), what price? Thanks, and while I'm on a roll, I noticed you were from Southern Indiana...whereabouts? I'm in the southern Illinois area.

Freeway Blaster

I installed the Freeway Blaster low tone last summer, but just mounted it in the stock location. Worked fine until a particularly wet ride after which it became a pitiful "meep-meep" horn, worse than stock. So I am going to get another one this spring and mount it under the left cover as suggested above.

Did you wire it straight in or run it through a relay?

I've heard of people having problems with burning up the horn switch if they wired a new horn straight in.

Amperage draw

I have had the same horn since July. I had the same concern but this horn doesn't draw much more power than the OEM horn. Now put a WOLO bad boy air horn in and you had better use a relay.

If everybody is thinking alike, then nobody is thinking.

Sorry for the delay in replying...

I had it wired direct. I just bought a new one last weekend and installed it the same way. Works fine. Water came out of the old old one when I took it off. I mounted the new one with the opening facing down so it will be self draining. We'll see how long it lasts!

Horn Model

Thank you. I wish they would make bike horns were you can hear them.
