Hi Guys... I'm tempted to give this a try
https://ringautomotive.co.uk/uk/products/Cars/Auto+Electrical/Horns/REH140

Anyone got one already? Are they loud ?

Just fed up with cheap internet/fleabay tat that makes a feeble squeak and doesn't even last for the next MOT...
Its for a CBF600 cowl - so not a brilliant amount of scope for alternative mounting points / bigger & better etc without extra hassle

thanks

If you're going to do something, do it properly.

I've had them before. Not that much different to a normal bike hooter. Better when you add the low note one as well so they both go off together.

Got a pair fitted and they are an improvement over standard. Fit the relay far away from water, as it is a pain in the arse trying to pull a fuse in your boxers, in the rain. With the neighbours laughing.....



At Mr Woo dangling out the side.








That one G has pointed out looks good, though.

I have some of these on my 535. THey seem to work without a relay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BIKE-IT-TWINZ-12-VOLT-MOTORBIKE-MOTORCYCLE-COLOURED-DOUBLE-TWIN-HORNS-BLACK-/191060564958?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item2c7c18dbde

Significantly each one is a bit louder than a stock horn, together they have significantly more presence. I have never found them to not be enough.

Copper observing my ride on bikesafe wanted to know where I got them from as loud and assertive but not so antisocially loud.

Yeah, thought about switching for a kitten killing Siebel Nautilus just becasue he said that but...

Yep, second this. Rarely a day not go by in London, when I'm thankful to have this horn fitted.
Yep, bit bigger, but I'm pretty sure you can break it up into two halves and join with an air pipe to help ease fitting.
