try just holding it on when riding everywhere. my brothers packed up. he was told that they can just pack up through lack of use. so was told to keep trying. a day later after holding it down whenever at a constant speed. hey presto. it worked.

Try squirting WD-40 into the switch.

Also try connect the horn direct to 12v to see if it's that or the wiring/switch.

If the horn is dead then the Stobel Nautilus air horn is quite small and may fit where the original is (although you'd have to wire in the relay for the air horn).

I think I just killed that site. Embarassed I was clicking all the audio buttons to listen to all the airhorns and then it exceeded it's bandwidth. Laughing

I only use mine to beep at fit chicks to amuse my self whilst riding. Laughing

So if any ladies are being beeped at in North wales by a cheeky bloke on a red bike.... that'll be me.

Yes I know it's sad but it makes me laugh.

There's a guy I work with, has this horn wired up with 6 different sounds. Does a horse's neigh, wolf whistle, tarzan sound some like road runner type thing and a couple of others.

Funny as fuck when we're riding behind him and you have that going off cos it's so LOUD.

If you had been to Italy you would know why they have decent horns.

All the best
