The stock horn on my FZ6 does not seem to be sufficiently loud.
Could anyone recommend a good horn? What should I specifically look at, when shopping around?

Thanks.

No, I work in a steel mill, one of the things we make is ballstock. Which is then super heated and rammed through what used to be a shell maker back in world war 2. Now it just takes a small chunk of the bar and hammers it into a rough spherical shape. We make everything from marble size to 4 inches in diameter. Once in a while a couple get loose on the floor, or roll off of something that they should. It'll DEFINATELY wake you up.

Ok I'm being serious when I say this.

Get one of those big trucker horns. The really really loud ones. I was considering buying one myself because I heard on most bikes it's possible to do. If you're into asthetics I'm not sure where it would mount out of sight :laughing: .

I saw a great looking bike with dual airhorns mounted behind the forks just below the triple tree.

Here's another choice or ...

Anyway....after I get that mental image out of my mind....

You can't go past the stock Harley Horn.

It's the best I have heard so far & motorists think it's a big Fat car (Not a bike!) so go grab one of those babies I reckon.
