How to Mount Air Horns on a Gold Wing 1500

The Goldwing 1500 is a street cruiser motorcycle manufactured by Honda. The first cycle in the Goldwing series was introduced in the early 1970s. The Goldwing 1500 comes equipped with a factory horn. However, the stock horn is not very loud, which can pose a safety risk on the open highway. The installation of an aftermarket air horn, however, is an option that can make highway travel safer. Installation of an air horn will take approximately 30 minutes.

Instructions

    1

    Remove the negative battery terminal on the Goldwing 1500 with a wrench set.

    2

    Use a wrench to remove the retaining bolt holding the factory horn in place near the battery. Disconnect the old horn's plastic wiring harness and ground wire. Align the mounting hole on the new air horn trumpet with the mounting hole near the Goldwing's battery. Thread the bolt into place by hand and then tighten it with a wrench.

    3

    Attach the air horn compressor to the right front fork of the Goldwing using cable ties.

    4

    Attach one end of the air hose to the rear of the trumpet. Run the other end of the hose to the back of the compressor and attach it.

    5

    Attach the new horn's ground wire to the ground wire hole the old horn's wire ran using a screwdriver.

    6

    Plug the new horn's wiring into the plastic existing wiring harness and then replace the Goldwing's negative battery cable.
