On the Horn
Having a look around the wishbone joints this morning i notice d the bike is fitted with 2 mismatched horns. One looks like a Denali mini sound bomb/ Fiamm snail type and the other looks like a standard round M/C horn. Both work when the button is pushed. The joining link wires look professional. Is this a normal setup for a 2007 RT?.

Re: On the Horn
I do believe that the Hexhead RT's had Twin Tone Horns as standard. With the introduction of The Twin Cam model this was replaced by a single Flat type horn
I recently replaced the Single type on my 2011 Twin Cam for a used pair of the far better sounding Twin Tones from the 2005-2009 Hexhead.

Re: On the Horn
Only a single horn!. Accountant cutbacks. My bike horns are much louder than on my Wife's Mini which is also fitted with twin Snail type horns.

Re: On the Horn
IIRC it's only the early 2005 RT that had twin horns, 2006 onwards has a single unit which I had on my 2006 model. The horn on my 2022 is another matter, twin tone and loud!

Re: On the Horn
My 2008 Hexhead had the Twin Horns which looked like an original fitment to me. There again, maybe some one had done an up-grade prior to me getting the bike ?.
