Rivco makes air and electric horns. The mount for air horns on he Goldwing is installed sometimes underneath the saddlebags. Some even mount on crash bars. Check link below.
Horns for Motorcycles
Thank you! Appreciate the page and advice.
I 2nd for Rivco. Mine have lasted 25,000 miles problem free on my Tri-glide. Worked in ALL weather conditions. Note to make sure you order ones with front cover. It blocks crap getting in. I ran the air hose to compressor under rear seat also (the only room I could find).
Stebel makes a compact compressor and horn set.
TwistedThrottle.com : ...by Brand - Stebel Air Horns - is one source.
I wish that I had front covers when I had a set of horns mounted under the Vetter fairing when I ran into migrating love-bugs in Florida many years ago. Packed both horn full of them, the horns never did work again (still have the compressor, tho).

Installed a chrome WOLO (Setbel) above the stock horn on the downtube, with a ss hose clamp and piece of 1/2 alulminum strap from ACE hardware. Hose clamp is so folks have to work harder to steal the horn; went through two before I installed the hose clamp, the WOLO has a slip on mount that makes it a one hand removal (love those group bike runs!)
Installed it with a relay to power it from the battery when the horn button is used so have both horns without overloading the OEM horn switch.
The horn is as loud if not more so than RIVCO and Bobs Horn, IMO.
I have a airhorn I bought at PROPAD inc. I needed to move it for my parade fan so I took the cover off and found it was a Stebel air horn inside. It has worked for the last 3 yrs with no issues

I also have the Rivco Multi-application Horns. They're great and can definitely wake up the dead!
I've had Rivco Air Horns on my 89 Wing for 10 years and they still work great. I mounted them under the right saddlebag. Last year at Americsde I put them on my 2000 GL 1500 SE CSC TRike mounted outside of the right side Fairing grille. I wouldn't be without them, they're lifesavers.
Installed a set of RIVCO'S on my Ultra/Champion last week. They mount right where the OEM horn was located and use a relay so the original horn button can be used. Had to mount the little compressor under the seat and the whole installation took about 45 minutes. I love those air horns!!
FYI...I was interested in an engraved cover for the mini beast from Pro Pad. Well I talked with Tracy at Pro Pad yesterday. They no longer offer the engraved version. However they are is coming out with some new medallions in the next few weeks. See photo below of POW one. I am going to hold off on my horn purchase until the new medallions are available.
