“I own a harley davidson and the horns on these bikes are a hazard. My bikes horn sounds like a dead duck when it does make noise, and there are 1000's of others who make this same complaint on numerous internet harley forums. These horns are a safety issue and harley davidson knows that these horn quit working on even their new bikes. My bike is a 2001 electra glide. Harley davidson should be forced into a recall on their cheap horns, or come up with a better product that works.”
