    Still looking! Need a good working set of horns for my 71 GSX. Need both high and low.
    Removed first post because I thought I found a set. But no good. Tried The Parts Place and their welded factory type are not correct. If I was to spend $149.00 dollars for new horns I expect them to be correct.

    I have two milk crates full of horns. Is there a date code your looking for ? I do remember seeing a letter code, not sure the meaning.
    Nice original paint.

    Date code not important to me, just need a high tone and low tone. PM me with amount and shipping to a business 17701 along with payment preference.
    Thanks

    Max Damage I'm working on it!

    They seem to have letter codes one them. Not sure if this corresponds to the note? I had a "D" horn in my 1968, which died and I was able to replace it with another horn with a different letter.

    I have also been told that if you hook the horn up to power and hit it with a hammer sometimes they break loose. This didn't work for mine...

    The letter is for the month/date code. I have half the alphabet in my box of horns.

    I would consider any date horns. My build date is 04D. I need one high and one low that work. If anyone would consider selling one of each, please PM me with price include shipping to 17701

    I beg to differ
    the letter is NOT the date code
    the date code is in the right corner across from the part number
    8K5 on my working horn = 8=1968 K=october 5 = 5 th week
    over 500 horns in stock ,.,,
    our year s 9000 delco horns came in 4 notes ,,
    2 very common 1 common 1 a bit more rare
