i just purchased mine today i'll be installing it in the morning. pics will come, hopefully some video as well to demonstrate the difference between the stock horn and the new one for those who aren't familiar with it.
I added a Fiam Freeway Blaster and am less than impressed. I tried it on the highway and thought it was disconnected. I did not even hear it. I do wear custom earplugs and full face helmet but still...

I agree. I put one on my bike and I'm beginning to suspect it's quieter than the stock horn. Very disappointing.
I also mounted mine up under the left side front faring. Hides it and it's out of the elements too.
Is it really just cable tied onto the wiring harness?
isn't it the OEM horn loud enough?
I am all about safety, but I could never justify myself buying an aftermarket horn for this bike.
Has anyone been in a situation where the OEM horn wasn't loud enough?
no, it isnt!
Just like the stock headlights arn't bright enough and the stock exhaust loud enough.
Well, after all $35 for a horn would be hard to justify....
Yes i have. Especially at highway speeds, no one can hear that whimpy stock horn. Keep in mind that you usually have to wake up the person you are honking at and i want to make damn sure they are awake! I want them to think a freight train is derailing behind them! :thumbup:
Keep in mind people also tend to 'respect' horns that are louder than if faced with some 'cute' sounding little horn.
i've had to use my oem horn (attempt to use i should say) on the highway before...even i could barely hear it, no way the car i was honking at could.
