Topic: The Goose takes flight!

[eigenvector]

The one thing that I could never make work on this bike was the horn.  It's a trivial part, but for some reason I just could never get it to honk.

Finally, after all my restorations, all my work, I rewired the horn and <honk>.  Only not that kind of honk, the horn sounds like a Canadian Goose - I'm dead serious - I pushed the button and I thought a flock of geese flew overhead or something.

I fiddled with it a bit more and more, figuring that it's just a bunch of rust and spiders, and webs in there keeping it from sounding off like a man - but it never did.  My horn sounds like a stinking goose!

Eigenvector - Interesting name.  It sounds like you have experience solving systems of differential equations

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaank

I think I need to upgrade my horn at some point. Plenty loud now, but why not go louder?!

That's pretty darn close actually.

I'll have to record my next break in ride.  Although it is getting better and better the more I use it.  Spiders in the coils or something.  Certainly would never rely on it to save my life in traffic.  For now that's just a legal requirement, sooner or later I'll need to get a real horn.

There is an adjuster on those stock horns,not sure if it would help. Last summer I bought a 750 that had 2 of these mounted on the fairing, think he wanted to be heard ?   http://archives.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,12338.msg57960.html#msg57960
