Any chance of a video with some sound? :shocked:
It'd be cool to hear the glorious results! :thumbup:

Good to hear - Ha Ha, Pun intended!!! Curious how much louder

Teddy wanted me to ask, as he's never heard of Fiamm before, how much louder is the one you installed over the stocker :dontknow: We know its 130 db, but not sure how that equates to what you actually hear :shocked: I know anythings gotta be better than stock. Any possibility of you posting a sound clip of it? :hun: Thanks

Can you get to the stock squeaker by removing the left foglight?

quick fix at small cost

2 years ago this was my first mod. Got a disc horn. drilled a 6 mm hole on upper front left side panel support (behind fuse box). mounted horn so it is concealled by panel. Ran a fused wire from the battery forward to horn. Mounted a new auto horn relay. Removed leads from standard horn and attached them to relay and took output feeds to each horn and made 2 earths up. Piece of cake. useful to have terminals and crimper.

DOUBLE

i don't know about a video... i'm just not that smart with electronics... but the new FIAMM horn has got to be DOUBLE what sound level than the OEM....

 

[Bob Denman]

And it mounted up okay in the OEM position? No extra relays or fancy wiring modifications were needed? :shocked:

I followed the link in the first post to the vendor and there is a sample sound clip at the bottom of each horn page. Leaves a little to the imagination, but it is helpful. The combination horns are louder!

Looks like a nice horn. It must need a relay as they show it as an option right below the horn. The wiring to the stock horn will not handle the load from a larger horn.

Lapirow details what is needed to add the larger horn. I would use a double pole relay and keep the stock horn also if there is room.

Thanks Jeff! :thumbup:

MOUNTING

MOUNTING is EGG-ZAK-LEE the same as the OEM... no relays, just remove the bolt that holds it to the bike, remove the 2 wires, reconnect the wires to the new unit, and mount the FIAMM horn right back where you pulled off the old one... very simple... took about 15 minutes - start to finish...
