    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.

Original horn

Hello fellow GS owners. Not sure this thread should be here or in apperance, but here goes. Pictured is one of my original horns from my '80 GS750E. I have not seen anything like them, even in my original parts fiche. Horns no longer work, would like to replace with orignal or something that looks simular. Any ideas?
 
Maybe, but there is a pair, left and right. And were mounted perfectly under the tank, but visible.
Original wiring harnes supplied connection to both sides.
PS. This bike was stored for 30 years before I got it. If not original, added in the 80's. Maybe it was an "original" modification.

They look good- have you bypassed the wiring and are sure the horns themselves are no good? Seems unlikely that both would fail.
 
Yes, I bought some cheap horns for now, and they work, but don't really fit in the same space, which is why I thought these were "original." It's hard to see in the photo, but they are snail shaped with a chrome cover on top, and a chrome grill covering the horn opening. All plastic of course. I like the way they look, and they look like they belong on the bike.
 
Sorry, dude, but if you are stuck on chrome horns you'll just have to Google for it. If not, Fiamm makes some very nice (loud, too, used mine twice today) horn pairs. I have the freeway blaster pair, and they are nice.
 
Thanks for straighting me out. Must be aftermarket (from the 80's). After looking at Fiamms on E-bay and Amazon, mine might be old Fiamms. They were pretty loud when they worked. I'm probably going to by the freeway blasters. The chrome grills from my old ones may fit on the new ones with a little silicone sealer. Again, thanks everyone, for the help.
