Horny
Ok... So... I have had this bike for a little bit and I'm already getting nearly run off the road numerous times. *loud pipes save lives anyone?!?!?!* Need more noise.
I'm ready to get rid of the *beeep beeep* and stick a couple of noisemakers on the front of this frame. Surfing Orielly's... So I'm thinking a couple of the Wolo car horns. One in the 300 to 400 hz range and one in the 400 to 500 hz range. I'd add a new circuit with a new power relay and new fuse to protect the suzuki wiring. I'm an e-tech, that's not a problem. Whaddya think? Big loud car horn racket? Just piss people off or get them to respect my personal space? I'd do the air horns but I think that would just get noticed sans noise... Can you imagine a bike that sounds like a big boat or train Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Either this or open pipe so nobody can ignore me 8-O
OMG the youtube videos of the train and ship horns on cars. I wish I had the space Anywho.. No joke... I'd only plink the horn button when someone comes into my lane like I wasn't there leaving me with nowhere to go. Last edited by spldart; 06-03-2015 at 10:59 PM. |

A Stebel air horn will work well. Had one on the Vstrom and Lynda insisted on one for her M-50. Worked very well the day it saved her from becoming road kill due to a dumb driver. Yeah he was that close when she blasted through his open window with 139 db.
As a side note, air horns will really annoy folks on cell phones too. A woman driver on a cell wandered into my lane and I let her have it. Side by side we were. Scared her so bad she had an unwanted muscle reaction and tossed the cell out the window. Too funny. She likely still hates. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

WW2- You may have saved the drivers life too. That's funny that her phone went out the window.

Wow, those are long horns.
The Stebel air horn is much more compact and easy to find a mounting point. A few other horns that look like the Stebel are not as loud and some are even a waste of time. A pair of electric Fiam horns are quite loud and are not too spendy. I did consider them originally till I heard a Stebel horn. |
