82 gs750e horns

[Guest]

Sorry for being so stupid but I haven't tinkered for years! Anyway, I have 2 stock horns I am trying to hook up. there are 2 terminals on the back and a small phillips head screw. Is the screw for a ground wire? if the wire from the handlebar connects to one terminal, what goes to the other? I want both horns connected and working so any help is greatly appreciated.

Looking at the parts fiche:

You should have two wires for each horn coming off the harness itself. That screw you are referring to is probably what just holds the horn together.

By the way, your local parts house or any of them who have online web sites will have these parts fiches. I use my local (www.apexsportsinc.com) or a lot of us use www.babbittsonline.com.

Great thanks! After looking closer there is only one wire which goes to the handlebar switch. The previous owner did alot of rigging with electronics. What next?

Why don't you post up a picture of what you are facing and maybe we can suggest something else.

Screw it

Nothing connects to the screw. It's there to adjust tension on the horn's diaphram. If you mess with it, (which I DON'T suggest) it will change the tone...or completely stop making noise, which isn't good!

Your gs750e has horns? I'm so envious, mine doesn't have horns.

Holy ****, how can you possibly ride without horns!?

I got tired of getting cut off, it was the best $100 I ever spent.

I'd rip that stock junk outta there, and replace it with something else.

Thanks to all so far. I'll post a pix and figure out a plan with the support of you all out there!

100$ you can get a mini airhorn or just a 130db horn from an auto parts store for no more than 30$

My favorite is the "bad boy" horn.
$38 at harbor freight, somewhat more at pep boys.
Its an actual air horn with a compressor, but the horns are directly attached to the compressor so you dont need to mess with tubing.

Nice and compact, but as loud as any of the other airhorns I've tried.
1 bolt mounts it.

Comes with the required relay too.

Yeah I know, but I didn't want plastic horns.
I wanted metal trumpets, so my exhaust pipes won't melt them, because that's where I had to mount em, lol.

I like doin custom setups, more fun =)


But you can get a regular cheapo motorcycle airhorn setup for around $30.
