I want a louder horn: Difference between revisions

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~~=~~44760~~ Harbor Freight] for $10, or $15 at a regular car-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.
