    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Horn upgrade.

Please forgive my question-I am confused after reading this thread thoroughly. I am electrically challenged

I have a pair of Fiamm freeway blasters to wire, along with a new horn switch. I will be installing driving lights, and the new button is in the same housing with the aux light switch. It will mount on the handlebar to the left of the original handlebar switch, which still works minus the horn button. The stock horns are toast- worn out after only 33 years on my 78 gs1000.

I am using a relay, and everything works, except I don't know how to connect the new switch. I presume I have to use the green wire from the old horn? There is also a black wire with a white stripe inside the handlebar switch, which looks like it grounds the horn.

The rest of this thread talks about using stock horn wires. How do I wire a new switch with new wires?

I solved the problem. The stock horn wiring was still in place, so easy enough to tie in to the new switch. After a new loom it looks original.

It looks possible to tie in to the plug above the coils where the harness joins, to get at the green wire power feed, if a person needed to replace the horn switch wiring. I was able to mount the freeway blasters using the threadded holes at the front of the top frame cross member. They are well tucked in, using simple bent steel mounts I cobbled up. Under the frame, where the stock horns were, is plenty of room now. If I go to an air horn, that is where it will go.
