What horn? Did you have a relay it or were you able to hook it directly into the old horn wire?storysunfolding wrote:I ordered a horn that Lionlady installed on her bike. Supposed to sound like a freight train. Seemed like a good investment since my horn and the magna's aren't really all the loud.
Reminds me of the puffer fish. When he gets scared he looks much bigger than he really is. I'm just going to sound roughly 30 tons heavier than I actually am : )

I don't remember the name or link. It's awful. I ordered it last week and it's probably sitting at home, but I won't be home for another few days.CNF2002 wrote:What horn?

Wow, that's impressive. Good idea, too.paul246 wrote:I installed these underneath my Valkyrie. They deliver a 132db blast. Way superior to the wimpy OEM unit. I swear I can feel the sound pressure hitting my legs at a stop when these things are actuated.![]()

I find it useful since you don't have to take your hand off the front brake while shutting off the bike. This way you have totaly control over the bike while the motor is going. Zero chance of the bike leaping forward if you accidently slip off the clutch lever. Of course, you could park the bike in neutral, but I park on sloped surfaces too much to chance that...XM23 wrote:This thing with horns reminded me of something else--always use your kill switch to shut off your engine when parking your bike, not the ignition key. This reinforces the location of the switch in your muscle memory for the time when you may need to use it in an emergency situation.
