 No horn...
So I had fog lamps and the 12v plug installed at the dealer 3 days ago.....I was out riding today before the weather gets crappy.........and no horn......????? I am going to head back to the dealer next week, but has anyone heard of this????
Also anyone have serious issues with the Hindle exhaust? I currently have stock and am looking for something new, but I don't want super loud...

Pull the left front side panel along the trunk.
I'll bet that during the fog lamp kit install they forgot to plug the horn wires back on the horn.
Don't ask me how I know this can happen.

NO Horn
Now would be a good time to replace that factory horn with an air horn. It took me less than 30 minuts to put one on the wifes .
-
It is in the installation doc to unplug the horn when installing the 12v connector. I am sure they did not plug it back in. I love my horn, use it all the time because I drive around a bunch of idiots. If I am driving 90 on the left lane..do you really think it is such a smart move to get in front of me. Just need some cannons on the front and I will be set.

Is the air horn louder? Did it fit onto the same spot? What is the brand? I am thinking about doing the same thing.

OH Yeah it louder. 138 db. I was able to fit it in the same spot with a little modification to the factory bracket.
I got it at twistedthrotttle.com, the brand name is STEBLE, ( the spelling may be wrong). It was like $39, and I also got the plug and play wire harnes they sell.
This is the second bike I put one on. Really wakes up the people on their cell phones.

If you're doing 90 on the left lane, what does that make you? You are breaking the law, endangering your life and others, and setting a bad example for other Spyder riders. Nuff said.

In fact, in my SUV, pulling in front of a Spyder wouldn't be a problem at all...it would certainly be more of a problem for the Spyder...

Some of us ride a little faster, some ride a little slower. Let's not be too judgmental of our fellow SpyderLovers.

90 mph in the left lane needs no judgement.

Doesn't doing 90 in the left lane mean you have more throttle left.. Step it up ....

Hey Dudley, I understand your safety factor, but having met Patches in person, I can tell you he is a good guy. Besides, I have to admit, I've been in that left lane doing 90 before myself. Don't be too hard on those of us that hit the throttle sometimes, we are all here for the same reason. We love our spyder and this forum.

At least it is the passing lane!
Seriously, a lot depends on traffic conditions. Remember that up until a few years ago, there were no speed limits on Montana highways. Drivers were advised to travel at "reasonable and prudent" speeds. I don't think this resulted in either road carnage or the Apocalypse.

I know I will never change anyone's mind about how fast to drive. That's not what I was trying to do. Drive anyway you want to. If I hurt anyone's feelings, I apologize. Patches' post just hit home with some bad memories of friends that have been killed because of speed, and families disrupted. Friends who were good people that didn't think anything could happen to them on their bikes or in their cars.

Hindle is just right but there is alot of other options
way past the speed limit at one time or another. As long as you don't go faster than your angel can fly, its all cool.
