    You're the first one that's actually made a HOW-TO video and I appreciate it. Lots of guys making videos about these and not showing us anything about how it's actually installed. Kudos to you for taking the time to educate us noobs. :)

    You were the first to show that one of the tab receiver goes to one tab receiver from the same Y connector goes to the OTHER horn. Mine actually makes noise now. Thanks for taking the time. You saved me return postage!

      I read your comment and it helped me understand what I wasn't doing right. I disconnected the v wiring from a single horn and reconnected one of the wires to the other horn and then I had results. Thanks.

    I was about to return mine as there was no horn. After watching your video I had the wiring incorrect. So the good news is I now have the horn working, but the bad news is that it will only blow once. I've tried it in accessory mode and with the engine running. Still blows 1 time & won't repeat if pushed. Also, my horn cover is larger and it prevents me from using all three.

    • @kievsdad61
      @kievsdad61 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I had the same experience except mine will blow all day with the engine off. Once with the engine running. It requires a relay kit which Motohorn sells for $28. I haven't decided whether to buy the relay kit or return the horns.

    • @alanbednarz5543
      @alanbednarz5543 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@kievsdad61 Well you can return the horns, to Estonia. Yes, Estonia. The shipping cost will probably be more than the horns. I also needed the relay kit. To bad they are not upfront with us so we know what we are getting into before spending the $$$$. And as a novice, the wiring looks more complicated than I think I can handle. Plus the horns are cheap plastic. I don't agree that they look good, so if I were to install I'd have to buy another style horn covers and hope they can be hidden inside. Anyone interested in buying a set with the relay kit

    I installed mine like that and the vibration cracked the thin straps they give you. Had to remove them on the side of the road. Plus the horns were touching the stock horn cover and making clanging noise.

    @chadhamann8315 ปีที่แล้ว

    Did you not order the Moto horn optional relay to use with three horns? I have a 2008 Electra Glide and they told me that I needed to order the relay if I wanted to run three horns and have them be loud.

    • @dumbassleather4116

    Ran into a problem on my stock wiring. I only have 2 female terminals for the stock horn so i can't plug the new ones into it. Where can i get the connectors you have that will allow me to plug the stock horn and dual horns together to complete my circuit?

    • @dumbassleather4116
      @dumbassleather4116  ปีที่แล้ว

      Did you use the 2 y connectors and plug each end into your existing horn and see if it works. Shouldn’t matter and if done the way I did it your horn should work.

    Still a little hesitant on buying this upgrade. I feel like Motohorn HEAVILY exaggerates how loud their horns are. When they first came out with their trumpet / train style horn, their ads made it sound like a full-blown train horn, but then my buddy bought it for his Indian and after hooking it up, it was definitely louder than his stock horn, but nowhere near as loud as Motohorn's advertisement

    Did you cross the wire wires on the second, right side, horn? Did the Y ends go to a different side on the second horn ie: forward connector on front horn to rear connector on rear horn and rear connector of fwd horn to front connector on rear horn? Couldn't tell if the Y's went to different locations on the second horn or if you connected front connector to front connector and rear to rear. One would be a series connection, the other parallel.

    • @dumbassleather4116

      2 wire connectors. Take first one. One end to one horn, the other end to the other horn. Same process for the other connector. Then the end of one connector under the existing horn and the end of the other connector under the existing horn. This closes the circuit. Horns work. My wires are not hidden.

    Don’t buy a MotoHorn. If it doesn’t fit and you want to return it, they require you to ship it to Estonia. In Europe. Which costs more than the horn. They don’t tell you this up front or anywhere on their website. Deceptive business practices. They ship you the product from Oregon but claim you can’t return it there. Not a reputable company.
