Bike horns...
« on: December 04, 2005, 03:15:19 PM »
I noticed in another thread the mention of the lack of volume
from the standard 750 horn.  I solved that problem many years ago
by installing a pair of boat horns from Sears.  They come with a
small 12 volt air compressor that mounts neatly to the bottom
of the battery box.  It gets power through a relay so the horn
button is spared the high current.

When you hit these babies they look around for the semi... ;D

If you look closely you can see the horns mounted on the crash
bar.

That's usually one of the first things I do when I get a new bike.  I've got a pair of "freeway blaster" horns on the 750, they're the regular electric type so no compressor, but still very LOUD!

Me too, on everything I ride on the street.  I run a BIG wire from the battery through a horn relay (& fuse) to a pair of 104db horns and control the relay with the horn button.  Makes 'em even louder.......
I'd rather ride a Yamaha than eat worms.
