Harley-Davidson Air Horn
Be heard! Oftentimes having a pair of loud pipes is not enough! Occasionally you need a loud burst directed in front of you to get the attention of a cager and it’s times like this that the Harley-Davidson® Premium Air Horn Kit part # 96423-05 can be a life saver! In comparison to the stock horn, this horn is much louder and it can be the difference between someone noticing you and not noticing you. In my opinion, this horn is comparable to the horn of a mid size car; definitely not your standard useless motorcycle horn. This horn has some honk to it! The premium air horn kit retails for $139.95 and requires the additional purchase of a model specific mounting kit. When you weigh being noticed in a close call versus missed wages, pain and suffering due to an accident this is a no brainer; it’s a good investment.
Whether you purchase this horn or not, please practice finding the horn button with your thumb so that you can find it automatically when you need to honk! Now that I have a horn that can be heard, I cover the horn button with my thumb in situations where I might need it… like going through an intersection or parking lot. Or when a cager is nosing his way out of a side street or driveway. I think the air horn is helpful for lead Road Captains to warn these nosers that a whole string of bikes is coming through, “so back up cager!”
The installation of this product may be something that you want your dealer to perform. I purchased mine at Mike’s Famous Harley-Davidson in New Castle, Delaware. They installed it for me and it works great! I love it! If you have any questions about this genuine Harley-Davidson product please contact Ed Murrin, Parts & Service Director at Mike’s Famous Harley-Davidson 302-658-8800 ext 2230 edwardm@mikesfamous.com
That’s pretty cool. I’d like to get one of these for my bike.
I’ll put in a good word with Big D and maybe he will get you one for Christmas!
I use my horn a lot in town and it never seems to be loud enough. Your review has me thinking upgrade.
On another matter, I need to get a couple more of those adapters to the tether. A couple of my friends saw it and loved it so I thought I would get a couple of birthday gifts that someone actually wants. If you would give me the info, I would appreciate it.
Thanks!
I say get the upgrade, you’ll love honking at people! It’s alot more fun when they hear you.
We have plenty of the 12 Volt Power Ports. How many would you like?
I like it. It looks good too. I might just look into one.
Go for it!
HELP! I have had mine for about two and a half years. At first, the sound was great, like a Mack truck. As of late it sound mor like a sick cow. My dealer did not have an answer other than “maybe it needs to be cleaned” I can not find any instructions or troubleshooting info in the papers that came in the package.I have spoken with two other who are having the same issues.
I would buy a new one if all else fails. Two and half years isn’t too bad.
Harley Air Horns are affordable, if you know where to shop:

I agree with Trish, only mine never sounded anything like a Mack truck. I have talked to the dealer where I have spent countless dollars and the only thing they say is just what Trish said, it may be dirty. Does anyone know how to clean one? I have tried hard to keep my 2005 Road King all Harley parts and this horn is the biggest peice of garbage I have ever purchased. Any help let me know.
