I'm going to take a look at the Spyder1Attitude ones. Thanks.

Lane position and awareness is you best defence against the drifters.
Been riding Bikes for 45+ years and i can say i it's been years since i last used my horn.
Just my thoughts , Yours might differ.?
You make a good point about not being able to hear an apparatus. I really don't like the loudness, but I'm getting fed up with the Magoos. Thanks for the tip that will save my life.

I worry about being the neighbors' headache with that rolling thunder sound. LOL

Love the rumble and roar of the Two Brothers pipe. It may however make riding less safe as some drivers may be startled by it and make a knee jerk driving move. I guess you can't win in all ways with anything.

TIME TO MAKE SOME NOISE!
When I hear rumbling pipes roar by at 2AM it gives me sweet dreams about riding....
Personally I like rumbling. I don't want my ears to bleed, but really don't like the sewing machine sound of stock either...

Have dual Two Bros and don't mind repacking them, it's not that hard. Love the rumble.
Haven't seen any startled knee jerk reaction unless I want to get their attention...VROOM VROOM...

If you get loud pipes and don't want to piss of the neighbors, use the lawnmower law. Power on at 9 am, off by 9 pm.

I hear that the tailgunner exhaust is really loud and looks good.

A great way to make noise would be to use a baseball card and a clothespin, Worked for me when i was ten.
Just don't use a Mickey Mantle Rookie card.

There is no sure defense against the worst of the idiots out there. Situational awareness and defensive riding techniques , as well as periodic practice of evasive maneuvers, can save your bacon, though.
I do understand your frustration. If you are really serious about finding alternative safety measure to be noticed, consider a hi-vis jacket and hi-vis helmet. Those are the only things statistically proven to increase rider safety and reduce accidents. Those pieces are chosen because the move continually when you ride, in different directions than the bike motion...attracting attention.

I've had to give people the air horn many times while driving the semi, and some even had their windows open, and still it didn't do any good, people are just getting dumber and dumber with those "cages".

Didn't Bob post a video clip a few weeks back of a moped with something akin to a truck or boat horn?
Gotta agree - although the justification for these seems to be "loud pipes save lives" the safety instructors will tell you all it does is "scares Granny" and draws attention after the fact. I like the throaty sound of the two brothers but harbor no illusion that there is any safety factor implied. Besides, if it REALLY was better I would think that the insurance industry would be offering a discount for their addition (or at least dream that they would).
Here I thought I was catching up to Bob on posts with only a 19,000 difference and I see he has advanced 200 more from my keeping pace

It won't get better with more inventions of technology. I will have to do the best. I buried my friend two years ago because of these people who claim that motorcycles are dangerous. It's not us, it's them. I have been driving a car in addition for decades. I have never been a danger to motorcycles. Take care.
