Horn Mod

[OneTrack]

I picked up a Fiamm Freeway Blaster low tone horn today and installed it on my FZ6.
Holy mackerel is it LOUD.
No more sounding like the Road Runner....meep meep.

I scared the bee-jeebus out of some guy yesterday...he looked like he was having seizures while I held the horn

I'm going to make up a bracket that angles the Fiamm horn's front opening downwards so that any water that gets in there will run straight out. I thought of simply turning it 180 degrees which would angle the opening downwards, but then it would probably scare the "bee-jeebus" out of me instead of the intended victim who might cut me off/is cutting me off/has cut me off...

Fiamm Blaster

So this horn is just to plug into where the old one used to be? No extra wiring and such needed?

Any of you know of a store that sells this horn and delivers to Europe (Norway) ?

Thanks.

So I picked up the Fiam Highway plaster today at Advance Auto parts. The only battery I have around other than my car battery (bike is not here in Charlotte) is a battery for my starter box used to start my RC car. The battery was low on voltage, but it has been charging all day and I just taped the horn on the terminals a second ago and my ears are still ringing.

However I am thinking about getting these later down the road.

I realize that these are only rated at 118db, but I am not sure at what distance they measured them from. A buddy of mine here at school has a set on on his STI and they are amazing! I am wondering the measurement was taken at a good distance, where as the Fiam is measured at only a few inches or so?

Was reading this thread the other day so I decided to get a new horn.

Picked up a Motrax horn this morning. £9.99 for a dual pack, one is low tone the other high.

(The web site seemed slow or it could just be me)

Fitted a single one in place of the factory toy horn in about 5 mins. 'uck it is loud, especially in the garage.

I got the black version. Sticks out abit so I might do something between the forks under the lamp.

Hay man, look up the stebel horn on NippyNormans website. I believe its UK based and should deliver to you there. At least they did deliver one to me in Ireland. They have a few types. you can always look at ebay for horns too!

everyone is mentioning the DB rating of the after market horns and i know that the factory isn't crazy loud but as a reference point i would like to know what the stock horn is rated at. Does anyone know?

 

[bombadillo]

Anyone ever try a wolo badboy horn?? Those are still electric with no compressor or anything. Just spray it matte black and go. Plugs right in with the stocker wiring and its really loud. 118 Db and cheap. Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices

 

[pchbreeze]

118db is the legal limit and probably as loud as the stock but a different tone.

I got a spare NEW airhorn I'll sell for $30 if someone buys it before I move (May)

 

[ant_mb]

I'll take the horn off your hands.

I scared the bee-jeebus out of some guy yesterday...he looked like he was having seizures while I held the horn

just to clarify that statement, it was on a twist, he was in the middle of both lanes, and thinkng about parking it there judging from the way he was disregarding all the motorcyclists zooming by

Thanks for the info though:cheer:
