squeezing in some air horns

[Smokes]

As the stock Ryker horn is not that loud, I fitted a few cheap air horns in under the front lid where they are not visible. It was a bit of a squeeze and the horns and compressor had to be moved here and there to clear the steering linkage, but it worked. Note: this will not work for the 900 models, only the 600 will have enough room to fit everything unless the horns are mounted externally.

I have a 900 and have the one piece Wolo horn mounted in the stock location.

That should be seriously loud, did you add a relay for these horns?

No. I did up the fuse to a 15 amp.

That is looking for trouble I think, usually the fuse is rated at what the wiring and switches can handle.

You went twice the amperage, I would be afraid of burning something up.

What amps are the horns pulling? Adding a relay would be very simple.

I did fit a relay for the compressor. I haven't checked but it would draw 20+ amps easily. I'll drag out the trusty clamp meter and check.
Without a relay the horn switch and the wiring could suffer. Putting in a higher rated fuse is risky at best.

It draws 10 amps. It will be fine. I just toot the horn on occasion. I don't rise with the horn blaring all the time! B-)
