 Posted: 20:58 - 07 Jul 2021 Post subject: Recommend a quality low wattage horn? |
 |
|
My enfields destroy horns, I think it's the vibration. I land up buying a new one every MOT. They either stop working or even shear off their mounting, or both.
I've got a lovely, top quality vintage Solex horn fitted which is decorative, loud and very reliable but it takes a healthy dunt of power to make it sound. With my current batteryless, fairly weedy charging system, it won't actually sound unless you give it some revs. That's an MOT fail.
I'm looking for a fairly small 12V horn that is good quality and doesn't require much power to sound. I'll probably mount it somewhere hidden in addition to the solex so that can sound too if there's enough juice in the capacitor. Ebay is full of shite motorcycle horns that I know will be dead within a month (I'm looking at you "bike-it"!)
Loudness is not my first concern, if you didn't hear my aircooled 612cc single on an un-baffled reverse cone mega coming, a horn isn't really going to make much difference. It just needs to sound when the button is pushed every time. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles. |

I know you’re a very knowledgeable chap, but someone has to ask .
The horn is rubber mounted isn’t it? ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |
