Let’s face it, every Harley rider wants to personalize his or her bike as much as possible. Making your bike uniquely yours is just one more aspect to being a Harley enthusiast. Therefore, when sorting through the motorcycle air horns that are available on the market, you should keep a few things in mind:
- Although many air horns can be modified to suit different types of bikes, it is generally best to stick with those that are specifically designed for the make of motorcycle you own. This way, you can be certain everything will fit and work properly.
- Metal air horns typically provide a sharper and louder sound than plastic air horns, but plastic air horns tend to be less expensive and provide a wider variety of style options
- Dual tone air horns allow you to select between two different sound patterns
- Some air horns feature additional features such as snow shields, chrome compressor covers and flashing lights
By having a greater understanding of the various types of motorcycle air horns that are available today, you will be better prepared to select the type of horn that best meets your individual needs, as well as your personal taste and your budget.
Once you decide upon the right Harley air horn for your ride, installing it is a relatively simple process. In all likelihood, the air horn you purchase will come with an installation kit. If not, you should be able to obtain one from the horn manufacturer or vendor. In general, an air horn installation kit will contain the following components:
- Compressor
- Tubing
- Relay
- Mounting hardware
In most cases, the compressor will be small enough to be fitted anywhere you like on your bike. But, so long as you purchased an air horn that was specifically designed to be used with Harley motorcycles, you should have absolutely no problem getting it installed and working properly within a short period of time.
