Make sure you use a relay or you will fry the horn button.

I wonder if this is something to do with American "nanny laws" (low volume of horn). The factory fitted one on my European GZ is just fine.

Maybe cuz they are outside of an engine compartment. Louder than any of the other peeps cars I know. Girl in Toyota Corolla didn't see me and came into my lane no signal. HONK!!! She jerked the wheel hard back into her lane but was looking all around cuz she still didn't see me. Blind spot I guess. OMG I look like I'm in a fun mirror at the circus!

Intimidate the men.
Scare the women and children. Send the dogs and cats running. Squirrels just fall over dead mid stride. See your enemies driven before you! Not really. Need more decibels. One thing is for sure... It don't sound like a motorcycle any more. |

Did it ever really sound like a motorcycle before?? Some bikes just get short changed in the horn dept.

Just installed a Hella brand horn, replacing the crappy OEM horn the GZ came with. A bit louder (by like 5db I think).
Also, flipped the reflector mount to be higher up. I felt that a few inches up higher couldn't hurt visibility, and it makes no difference to clearance and function. Liking the look. |
