What are they doing or not doing? Is the compressor still working?

Compressor kicks on but lines look cracked and the horns are cracked as well, rode through a real frog strangler the other day think I got water in them, going to take off and trouble shoot but just looking at where to get parts and IF none are not available then replace. Alrerady been to Ebay, Rivco, Amazon looking to no avail. Rivco does not even list our Valkyrie anymore/

Actually looking at Amazon I think it is an AHGL18F that mounts on right side can anyone confirm? I know a few years ago I saw repair kits parts but not anymore. The Amazon details do not include the 1500 for this PN but I believe it could be used on our 1500 does fit the 1800. Suggestions? Thanks.

Well I thought mine were junk about three years ago, someone on here had wrote about using dishwasher braided hose from compressor to horns. It looks good and definitely fixed hose issue. Water in them not an issue. I believe when I looked them up maintenance is putting some wd40 down them then light pressure from house compressor and blow gun. DO NOT DUE THIS IN A BUILDING AS ITS LOUD! !!!!

Matt, Great suggestions that is where I plan to start troubleshooting them. My lines are cracked for sure
saw it when I pulled the Horn off. Going to get some replacement lines and run a short line to horns to see if I can get them to work, then go from there will use WD 40 in them as well. Compressor works but it might be tired after 18 years. Thanks.

I lost the long trumpet from my 'hidden' Rivco horns, and called them, and they sent out a replacement for about $40.00...

Sprayed WD 40 in horns and used house Air to blow it back out, horns are loud! Re-plumbed the airline to get rid of dry rotted lines and they are back to as new. Thanks for inputs. Going to contact Rivco to see if I can get a set of replacement horn covers.
