I bought these horns for my 98 Valkyrie, they were great for the first 2 years (the warranty period), after that the compressor took a crap and the horns didn't work ( having tested them with compressed air). I put wd-40 thru the horns &they worked. Got a new compressor & after another 2 years it crapped out again. I took it off my bike and reinstalled the original electric horn. Now I have a Goldwing I bought used & it had the Rivco horns on it, well the compressor just crapped out on this one. I went to Pep Boys and they sell a air horn kit for $34,95 with the same EXACT compressor as the Rivco horns. I installed the compressor & we'll see how long this one lasts. |

| After 4 years I had to replace the trumpets. Cost was 76.00. Called Rivco and the person I talked to felt that 4 years was pretty good longevity. Wanted to sell me a new compressor also. Mine still works so I only bought the trumpets. Shipping was quick and replacing them was easy, but I still feel they should last a whole lot longer than 4 years and about 40000 miles. |

| These are great horns......when they work..... I have purchased 2 complete units now over the past 3 years. I have replaced the compressor once besides. I've tried cleaning, lubricating, etc as instructed but in one word....they are just *unreliable*. Sooner or later...probably sooner...they are going to 'die' when you probably need them most. I'd rather have the stock horns than no horn at all. |

| I had these installed by the dealer & within a week, the cap of one of the horns fell off on the interstate! Rivco is sending me a new one! The reason I installed these is to wake up inattentive drivers who are chatting, texting, NOT paying attention, or just plain stupid! Especially when it comes to seeing an approaching bike!! I am a retired LEO / accident investigator, so I want to do everything I can to be seen and heard to avoid becoming a statistic!! Some people think loud pipes are better,but my wife & I personally don't want to ride all day listening to them, when we have an unbelievable stereo! Believe me, one shot of these air horns, and you will stop ANYONE from pulling out in front of you! Hint** I had the dealer wire these along with the OEM horn, just in case they fail, I'll still have my stock horn! My honest opinion-- These can be & have been already, a real life saver. I just hope they last a long time, but time will tell! Four stars because the cap flew off, otherwise these are GREAT! |

| I have had two sets of the Rivco air horns. I had to replace the first set after about 10 months due to diminished sound. Rivco suggested I blow compressed air and WD-40 through the trumpets to correct the problem. No such luck. The second set lasted about 11 months and quite working as well. The chrome on the trumpets as well as the mounting hardware rusted. Don't waste your time on these horns. |

| I've had mine for over a year & replaced the compressor once. The second compressor went out right away but, I found out why. My Dealer had installed it in place of one of the original elec horns. It was mounted sideways in order to fit. The compressor must be mounted upright to work properly. Also, a little air tool oil occasionally helps also. I relocated & oiled my second compressor & it works again. |

| These are really cool. After putting them on was sitting at DQ when a young boy about 3 was checking out my 08' Wing. Mom and Dad said he loves bikes. I asked him if he wanted to honk the horn and warned him and Mom it was loud. When he honked it Mom almost jumped over the Bike. |

PS.can I get them replaced,and can I get a pair for the right side.Please let me know.As you can see, I love the horn set,but I like a set for both sides.Love them.PS.would Rivco people let me know if I can get them replace.
