Finally got around to upgrading my horns!

[Baatfam]

And I like it...

I've had a set of FIAMMs hanging on the garage wall for almost a year and finally put them on...
One high note, one low...plus a relay and a fused wire...bingo! Much louder...
Nice thing is the '83 1100E frame has a couple of mount points on the outside front of the frame...
I used those and I like the location better than up front...



Don't much care for the silver bracket, but I can fix that later...

Nice. Once you get those brackets blacked out, it will look like it those horns were supposed to be there.

I had a set of FIAMMs on my GPz, they are very loud. They don't disappoint.

[Crescentius]

Those are nice horns for sure. My bike came with a horn relay and a set of older, long-seized FIAMM horns already installed, so I just went to advance auto and picked up a set of new ones for 25 bucks, swapped them, and was annoying the neighbors in minutes!

Those outside frame mounts on the 83s (and if you look there are two more up near the stearing head) are where the "ES" fairing would have bolted to if you were AWESOME enough to have an ES

Just kidding Bob, your bike is looking great! Wish I had had the chance to ride with you guys at BC.. wasnt a good weekend for us. Nerves, despite how much I wanted to deny it, were a little frazzled to say the least. Oh well, You comin down for RRR??

I'll give you a hint......they're not the imitation ones either....

Sadly no...
This falls right as we are expanding at work and my department is one of the ones moving to a new building...
I don't expect to get any time off during July or August...

I dont have horns on the 850

[azr]

I put a pair of High/Low horns on my 850 that I bought from Canadian Tire. 130db, EVERYBODY hears me now. Very nice upgrade and they look virtually stock.

are those the train horns with a compressor?

are those the train horns with a compressor?

FIAMM Serie 2000.....basically a classic Ferrari horn setup,, except these aren't the plastic junk copies you see everywhere...these are solid metal trumpets.

Got lucky and scored the whole setup for $100 on ebay from a vintage Euro parts dealer.

Here's a sound/video clip...WARNING....LOUD....

Louder Horn

loud horns are cool

They are a must, along with a bright headlight during the daytime! I just found a set of uh-hum, Yamaha - cough-cough, Seca 750 horns on eBay for about 23.00. They are small AND loud! My GS550L horn is toast - not to mention wimpy!
I put a set of these in place of the standard cheesy horn on a 1987 Yammy FZR750 and I dared anyone to pull out in front of me! It had real brakes though

Funny how use ED guys get to use your ESD mounts for horns and steering dampers and such and you ESD guys dont .
