Any one fitted one of these to their bike are they good and do they really go in place of the original OE horn I have a z750

I think that horns that loud are illegal (Not that that will stop you).

Oh great another nuisance tool to add to the already bleak view from the public on bikers.

I agree with Andy C, I would rather have an "illegal" horn, that makes people look, and then see you, rather than the factory fitted baby burp sound, that the deaf old sunday driver couldnt hear.

People would complain, if you road around blasting your horn, but I doubt anyone would say anything if it was used to warn other road users of your present.

everyone should use feature 5

136dBa is stupidly loud Shocked

. Isn't it something like every 7dBa the loudness doubles? Most tracks only have a 103dBa limit for race cans for example... so this is seriously loud! Let me know what its like, I'm interested Very Happy

Every 3dBa the linear "loudness" doubles. dB is a logarithmic scale.

Had the Magnum, wasn't loud enough IMO so its now on the other halfs car. I upgraded to the MUCH louder Stebel Nautilus, since fitting it nobody has ignored it if they pull out or look like they are about to do something stupid. Thumbs Up

If it's the same as the Nautilus that quoted 136dB will only be possible on a 24V supply.

I have a Nautilus here on my shelf. It's bloody loud!

I've got a Magnum on my Bandit and it is bloody loud. It certainly gives people a shock when you hit the button, no-one thinks that a bike horn can be that loud.

I put it in place of one of 2 standard horns, its fits fine but doesn't look that pretty.

lets put this into prospective yes! while the figure is 136db is loud and you would not want to press the horn while servicing the bike or in the garage as the sound would be amplified greatly but on the road in which the sound would not be held within walls or buildings so at 70mph + db rating would drop but would still tell others you are there and about.But yes it is loud but not maybe as loud as you think! A bit like a concert in the nec or another arena type the sound is loud but but that same sound in to wembley or a field then the sound would not be to much than in an arena.

Exactly, I use the horn a fair bit when I can see ahead someone thining about pulling out on me. Half the time they still do it though, I can only assume this is becase my crappy sounding horn cannot be heard over whatever it is they are playing on the stereo.

Some chav driver nearly had me off and although I didn't parp at him it would have been pointless with me horn as China could probbaly hear the bass of his car stereo on full whack.

Loud horn = more useful horn.
