How to Mount Your MotoHorn Compressor

We’ve talked a lot about the MotoHorn™ 3.0, but one thing we’ve never fully covered is the compressor mounting process.

So, in this guide we’ll show you exactly how to mount the MotoHorn™ compressor on cars, pickup trucks, and motorcycles. You’ll see the common mounting spots, step-by-step tips, and answers to the most frequent compressor questions.

What Is the MotoHorn™ Compressor?

Technically, it’s not a traditional compressor — it’s a high-speed air pump that supplies air directly to the trumpet. For simplicity, we’ll keep calling it a “compressor.”

Think of it as the part that makes your horn loud. Without it, you wouldn’t get the train-like sound MotoHorn™ is known for.

Key Compressor Parts

1. Bolting edge — for mounting securely with the provided bolts.
2. Air outlet — connects the silicone air line to the trumpet.
3. Wire pins — positive and negative pins for quick wiring.

Mounting on Vehicles

On cars and pickup trucks, you have multiple options: the frame, engine bay, or even sturdy plastics. Just bolt it down to a solid point and you’re good to go.

Most vehicles don’t require drilling extra holes — you can often use existing mounting points for a clean install.

Mounting on Motorcycles

Motorcycles also offer several good spots. The most common are:

• Under the saddle
• Between the engine and the saddle area
• Underneath the cowbell cover

Many riders also mount it on the front frame or directly to the MotoHorn™ trumpet bracket. Plus there’s usually enough space near the battery for a secure installation.

Common Compressor Q&A’s

We get lots of questions about the compressor — here are the most frequent ones:

1. Can I extend the silicone air line?
   Yes, there won’t be any loss of performance.
2. Does it need maintenance?
   In most cases, no. If dirt or water gets inside, apply some mechanical oil.
3. Is it waterproof?
   It’s weather resistant, but not fully waterproof. Mount it in a dry spot.
4. Can I use one compressor for two trumpets?
   Technically yes, but we recommend two for maximum loudness. Multi-kits include multiple compressors.
5. How do I wire multiple compressors?
   Simply repeat the wiring steps — wiring kits are included.

In Conclusion…

Whether you’re mounting it on a truck, SUV, or motorcycle, the MotoHorn™ compressor is easy to install and built to deliver serious loudness. With the right spot and secure bolting, you’ll have the world’s loudest motorcycle horn ready to honk.
