I will agree with the posters who have installed and used the LOUD horn with success. I, too, have installed the above mentioned horn, albeit, on my Goldwing. The difference in the recipient's response is dramatic. As one of the posters stated, it cuts through the background noise and wakes them up. It is usually even enough to momentarily stop the idiot from texting and insure that you pass by without getting squashed!

I just need to replace my existing horn. It's a little on the weak side. Does anyone know what the draw is on the stock unit? I was thinking of just getting one of these:
1982 GS1100GLZ Sold but still loved
2008 Bandit 1250 Crashed (cager on a cell phone)
2008 Bandit 1250 #2

I have twin airhorns on my 650, run to a seperate compressor.
You have to use discretion with these...you can literally cause accidents or have unintented consequences in high traffic situations.
I've honked at people near-by, then 10 seconds later I came around the corner and cars were stopped in the middle of the road or slowing down....
I bet they didn't expect a little GS to make that kinda noise.
But as long as it saves your life, that's what is Important.

No idea of the amp draw on stock horns.

Just so you know, you can get similar horns from Auto Zone or any of the other auto parts stores. They are cheaper, too, at only $14 a piece.
