I want a louder horn: Difference between revisions

Line 3:

That little "beep, beep" of the OEM horn, ''IF'' heard by anyone, only makes them look around for a clown car. Since you're not in a clown car, and you want people to acknowledge your presence, a better horn is in order.

You can get a '''LOUD''' FIAMM horn at [http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=44759 Harbor Freight] for $10, or $15 at a regular car-parts store. Places on eBay have them, as well as [http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/Search?catalogId=10101&storeId=10101&sku=fiamm+horn&searchbtn.x=0&searchbtn.y=0 JC Whitney]. They are also available from Nissan dealers as part #25620-ZB000, with a list price of $9.70, or $44, depending on which dealer you go to.

Note that the Nissan version is not truly "plug and play;" you'll need to do a bit of wire-splicing. Do yourself a favor and spend a couple of extra bucks and buy it from Harbor Freight or an auto parts store.

Get the low-tone, and make sure you're getting the loudest one they sell. It should be listed as 120 or 130-ish dB. They're way louder, and are a bolt-in replacement for the stock horn. Point the bell of the trumpet down so it doesn't collect water, and cover your ears before you test it in an enclosed space. Even with it pointing down, it is loud and can be heard by cars and other motorcycles easily.
