florycr3170 Posted January 22, 2012 #1 Posted January 22, 2012 I am looking for a stock horn for my 2008 RSV. I have adjusted the one on the front, behind the left fairing. It is somewhat louder now. The one near my right side is sick / dead!! I would like to purchase one from someone on this site who no longer needs theirs, or has repalced them with an air horn. Thanks for any help you can offer. Charlie Flory 804-731-4474
bongobobny Posted January 22, 2012 #2 Posted January 22, 2012 Can't remember if I still have mine from replacing it with an air horn, but if I do it's yours for the asking. I'll check in a little while and let you know...
Cougar Posted January 22, 2012 #3 Posted January 22, 2012 Charlie if bongobobny can't come up with one I also have one laying around you can have. Jeff
hig4s Posted January 22, 2012 #4 Posted January 22, 2012 I replaced my rear with an air horn, I think I still have my stock one around somewhere. I'll look for it.

playboy Posted January 22, 2012 #6 Posted January 22, 2012 On and 08 that horn should be under warranty had mine replaced at the dealer before I found this place.

Hummingbird Posted January 25, 2012 #10 Posted January 25, 2012 there's two (2) horns on a Venture ? sumgun
Cougar Posted January 25, 2012 #11 Posted January 25, 2012 yes the other one is under the left front fairing
Freebird Posted January 25, 2012 #12 Posted January 25, 2012 Just to make sure it is clear, LOWER fairing, beside your left foot.
Hummingbird Posted January 26, 2012 #13 Posted January 26, 2012 maybe that's why my air horn sounds funny ??
hig4s Posted January 27, 2012 #14 Posted January 27, 2012 I don't remember throwing my stock horn away, but I've look through my garage and cannot find it.
99silver Posted January 27, 2012 #15 Posted January 27, 2012 Do yourself a HUGE favor and install the Stebel air horn, the stock horns are inadequate.
BradT Posted January 28, 2012 #16 Posted January 28, 2012 Do yourself a HUGE favor and install the Stebel air horn, the stock horns are inadequate. HAHA A lot of stock horns out there must have all been replaced, wonder what with ? I too have one if needed. Brad

muaymendez1 Posted February 12, 2012 #19 Posted February 12, 2012 I just picked up 2 sets of jeep liberty horns from the local wrecking yard for $15. .. I chose these horns for thier beefy sound and small profile. I will be mounting one under each saddle bag pointing out and the other 2 in front pointing down or maybe on the forks pointing down.These are not flashy chromed but should blend in with the dark spots on the bike. I love the way they sound.Will include pictures and video when I get them mounted.Hope to put them on tommorow. P.S I will be powering them through a relay.

DMW Posted February 15, 2012 #21 Posted February 15, 2012 I just went through this with my horns. Test the horn straight to battery, WOW, the horn not working worked! The horn switch carries all the current for the horns, no relay. Contacts in the switch not getting enought current to the horns. Installed a relay to supply ground for horn circuit, stock horns are loud now. Use the horn switch to activate the relay. Cleaning switch will work for awhile but problem will return. NOTE: The horn behind the left flairing pulls 2amps, higher frequency horn, the horn on the right side at rear of engine pulls 4amps, low frequency. Best of Luck

Best of Luck THIS is why when I installed the Stebel horn on my RSV that I ran a larger wire from the relay to the horn behind the left fairing. I also used a larger wire to ground it right to one of the mounting bolts.
