Topic: So, I want a loud horn... but don't want to make many mods to get it

 Nice bracket seaweb, looks oddly familiar but I juuuuust can't place it     Some fuzzy dice hanging from the extra bracket hole oughta have things looking right as rain

  Horn actually looks pretty nice and should add to the bike once it's centered up

Nice!  I want one.

Someone has said it sounds like a BIG Cadillac, some one else said LOUD Lunch truck either way they WILL get someone to spill their coffee, or drop their Cell phone.

Received my chrome air horn a few days ago. A bit bulky for a shaved down bike, but the thing makes me cringe just before I blow it



No comments on the fit and finish of the instal please   I used what I had on hand   Will sort out a proper bracket later.

Will it fit on the bottom of the lower triple?  It might blend in better there.

Hmmmm now that i see the size of the unit im gonna have to rethink where i would mount one...next spot that comes to mind would be like how seaweb mounted his..might even be able to make a bracket that uses the bottom holes of the upper radiator on my bike for mounting...safe to say i would be going with one in black so it blends in and looks almost like a stock part..

only problem at the bottom of triple tree is it might interfere with suspension travel, ie smack the finder
if you hit a big pot hole.

I had the privilege to use my stebel 2 mornings ago on the highway when some lovely guy wanted to occupy the same lane that I was in. I gave him 139dB of love.  He moved back right quick.  Then he started to yell at me through his window as he jumped about 2ft in his seat.

LOL I love it when they give you a dirty look after THEY almost run you into a ditch. 

[S-Dog]

no kidding... It did give me a good laugh for the rest of the ride to work.

If my kids are in the driveway they get a kick out of the feeble "meep meep" of the 400F's horn when I get home.

Right after I bought my old BMW the kids ran up to me and I did the usual.  Except this time it was the high decibel blast of two Fiamm horns I didn't know existed under the fairing.  It's amazing how high a 3 year old can jump.

True, I didn't think of that.  There's probably not enough room next to all the wiring and cable on top of the lower either.

I got a Fiamm freeway blaster from pep boys. Works very well.
