    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.

louder horn

Despite what the copy says, I think you will still need to use a relay in hooking that horn up.

How true this is I dunno. I read it on one of the other motorcycle forums I visit. A Gold Wing rider supposedly showed up at a GW rally with a locomotive air horn on his Wing. It used both saddlebags for compressor and tank. This could be total BS, I really don't know. But there are times I'd would have loved to have that system on my bike! :D

And I'm not talking about that JC Whitney locomotive sound horn either!
We're talking the real Norfolk and Southern, Union Pacific, CSX, RJ Corman choo choo train!
 
sence the horn only draws 4 amps they claim that the stock system is sufficient. I'm going to install a 30 amp relay, the horn will only use its maximum amperage; wih power from the battery, there should be little voltage drop so the horn will operate at it's optimum level.

on the front fender where they will be the most efective!!!

I have heard these before and they will make whoever is infront of them, ears bleed!!!!
 
cheap horn

cheap horn

The econo horn works well to, its some salt water in a flask, a quick gargle, and it will allow you to yell louder, "watch where your going a-hole", then there is the deluxe kit witch comes with some spray glow bright paint for your middle finger so it can be seen more clearly

This is what i have. Its soo much louder than any other horn ive heard. It comes with everything you need to install it. I just painted my horns black. Good luck!

These look like what I had on my Lowrider. I had a highway/crash bar and mounted the horns to the upper crossmember right up against the frame. They were truly loud, but with about a one second delay between pressing the button and the horns going off. Was a teeney bit annoying with the delay.

If you get air horns, keep that compressor mounted as close to the actual horns as possible and trim the hoses as short as possible to cut the delay.
