    Default New Horn

    I'd like to get a real horn for my RT, but my dealer says there isn't enough room for one. Does anyone know if there is something loud that fits or do I have to settle for that anemic little "meep" sound?

    Default Fiamm High & Low Horns 132 decibels each

    I bought 2 each of the Fiamm Horns 1ea High & 1ea Low horns they are available from Napa, they put out a good sound and are much louder than the OEM single horn, and when you use the high & Low they sound really good, nothing like the original crappie flat sounding Stock horn.

    The Fiamm horns are 12v electric, and are 132 decibels each, they are loud at 132 decibels each.

    A few things i like about using the 12v Fiamm horns is they are easy to hook up, and hook up to the stock wiring,

    Having the High & Low Horn sound is good if you have someone that cannot here either the high or the low tones then you are covered having both.

    I thick they cost about $18 each, and easy to install.

    You could use only one horn either the High or the low, they are still 132 decibels each and would be louder than stock. and not as flat sounding.

    Default Is the Spyder invisible

    I was on my Spyder today with the wife, and used my horn at least 4 times.

    Is the Spyder invisible? Mine is blue, it is not like it is black. i guess they are about the same.

    I usually try to make eye contact with the people that are crossing my path,

    and flash between high & lowbeams many times.

    and ready to use the horn when needed, lately it has been often.

    This is the very reason that my first extras I put on Ms Spyder were lights: and I will be adding some Tricleds within the next month (3rd & 4th brake LEDs and front fender LEDs)....amazing to me, but we are invisible...extra lites helps ALOT....I purchased my fender lites (replaced the reflectors), 3rd brake & front mudflap lites from ESI..also have BRP fog lites and changed out the bulbs on front fenders.

    Lots of us are looking to Stebel since they're throwing 139 decibels of "Hey butthead... LOOK OUT!!" at offending drivers

    But even if you're lit up like a Xmas tree, you still need to watch out. Too many on the roads these days are physically there and mentally on another planet!

    Picked up our RT yesterday, had the dealer last week install a stebel horn (replaced existing beeper), had him also add Foglights, gauges etc.

    Had to use the horn last night, Cage decide to change lanes while I was beside him, he had his window open and definitely was surprised of the noise coming from the

    Still thinking about some nice chrome air horns to put on the front.

    I had a situation exactly like yours happen to me while on my 'Wing. A kid in a mustang wanted my lane... When I lit the fuse to the Fiamms he bounced off the guardrail on the opposite side!
