Horn .......

Tell me this isnt better and mean it ,
Before

after

It's better but still weak. Step up to the Stebel!

Unless you can stick that OEM horn inside the car you're trying to get to notice you, it doesn't really matter where you mount it. It's just not loud enough to do anything.

Stebel's are fine (I have one), but you can get a loud horn for a lot less. Just go by any auto salvage yard and get the horns off an old Cadillac or Buick.

THere a bit hard to find in OZ.

It might be just me but i'll be thinking how do i get out of this rather than where's the horn button .Which is the opposite way round on my
Aprillia so at best i'll get a flashing indercator .

Well, I suspect the horns off an old Holden or Ford would work, too.

You could always move here.

Or take the one off my Datsun 200B car.

No offense, but the stock horn is pretty anemic, and I can yell louder than it.

I removed the stock horn and installed a Fiamm high note Freeway Blaster, and while not quite as loud as a stebel, it's pretty **** loud, and has never failed to get the attention of drivers, even at 80+ mph on the freeway.

I mounted it on the left side of the frame facing forward where the charcoal canister was located with a custom bracket I made, and you can't even see. You can get them for about $18. I plan at some point to mount another one, possibly the low note version one over on the left side of the frame inside the cowling.

Fiamm sells horns all over the world, so I'm sure that there easily available pretty much anywhere.

if I could have (easily) fit a stebel on my fjr that's what I'd have.

ended up with 2 piaa that fit in quite well where the 2 stocks were. But if I had room, stebel in heart beat. I've wired them up before too, it's really not that hard.

the piaa's on the feej: they are quite loud and no relay needed.
