Suggestion for Super Loud Horn

[Commodus]

I have no idea, but I also live in Vancouver and am riding a 1981 GSX750E.

:-D

californiasporttouring.com and twistedthrottle.com have pretty good prices. i heard rumors that there was a ebay store that had them cheap plus the wiring kit came with it.

keep in mind it is kind of big little smaller then a soda can so make sure you have a place to mount it.

i could hide mine in the SV's fairing, but it would be harder to find a spot on my gs1000.

bikerhighway.com also includes a free wiring kit with fuse, relay, etc. i found a coupon when I purchased mine, so the shipping was free as well!:-D

It IS a big honkin' horn. Pun intended.8-[

Mine is mounted to my engine guard on the footpeg bolt, facing forward, which looks pretty ghetto.... but I don't care - I just wanted the loudest horn I could get my hands on, and it IS that.
In retrospect, I should have ordered the chrome model... I'll upload a pic of the install later, if this coffee does its job....

If you have more patience than I do, you can fab a simple bracket and mount it where the oil cooler would go, near the top of the frame, behind the forks. Mind that this horn needs to be mounted near vertical per the manufacturer's instructions, to ensure long life of the compressor. I found this to be the biggest limiting factor to a stealthy installation.

It's actually a little smaller than TWO soda cans.

CRC2 sells a replacement horn for $11 that's WAAAAY louder than stock -- I've got one on both my bikes and I've woken up a few dozing minivan pilots on the way to work. It also works well to get the attention of wandering cell phone yappers. Got one guy to drop his phone... :twisted:

It pretty much mounts and plugs in exactly like your old horn, although it's a little bigger around than some stock horns.

I'll second the Stebel Nautilus. It's INCREDIBLY LOUD !! :shock::shock::shock: Even the Harley rider in front of you will hear that horn.... Do run a relay though - it pulls 18 amps.8-[

+1 It's INCREDIBLY LOUD !!
Installed one on my MINI Cooper S, got to let those SUV's your there.
I want to put one on my GS750, just need to find a location that won't look kludged on.

I was looking for a word to describe my install of the Stebel, and Kludged is it!:shock:
Perhaps I should relocate the battery to inside the seat, and install 2 of those bad boys where the battery used to go. Of course the first time I thumbed the horn button, the harness would probably burst into flames.....

Yeah but they would sure know you were there

Stebel specifies that the horn be installed with the cylinder facing down (vertical) IIRC,....apparently the horns fail quickly if installed in a way such that excess moisture can be retained...a lot of the installation pics seen on the net seem to ignore this, however. I picked up this horn ( Black Nautilus Compact) when they had just hit the market, due to a good deal (steal) on ebay, with the relay & wiring....have yet to install it on the bike (gonna fab up a small bracket one of these days)...but was foolish enough to test it inside the garage with a battery :shock:[-X...yes, it is LOUD.
