Horn questions

Anyone else sick of idiots in cars coming into their lane when riding right next to them. I have a Muzzy exhaust, its loud, still doesn't seem to reveal my position on the road and stop people from coming into my lane. In the last month its happened 3 times; riding next to the driver's side window of some moron who is too occupied with the phone, radio or talking to a passenger and wanting to get in the passing lane. I do not sit in blind spots, I make it a point to at least get even with the driver and try to make eye contact.

Does anyone have a recommendation for an after market horn that actually works? Something 120+db. the factory horn is a joke.
 
Use the search feature. I installed a stebel air horn on the bike and added a YouTube video link. The horn is inexpensive but finding a mounting location is a Huge pain.
 
This is what you want: Stebel Compact Nautilus Air Horn w/ Wiring Kit - Black: eBay Motors (item 290487265038 end time Nov-11-10 20:36:42 PST)
I have one myself. Scares the hell out of women drivers.
And, contrary to popular opinion, mounting it is easy. Lift up your tank and have a look at the back of your throttle bodies, where you will see a series of horizontal, threaded holes. Bolt the horn into the second hole from the right. Done.

Ordered this today cos as you we over the pond in sunny England have the same issues, have been looking at air horns for a while and have gone with this as I have on many other parts from your recommendations and have yet to be disappointed :8)
 
danggit, I did NOT even have this mod planned....buying one tomorrow :thumbsup:
 
Thanks for all the responses guys. its get a horn or start shooting out tires of those damn cages on the road.... the latter may be more amusing.

Anyone else notice that 18wheelers seem far more aware of moto presence on the road? Had one blast his air horn at a car for me. God bless that guy!
 
Carry some AA or AAA batteries on your pocket...... :laugh: That will sure get there attention when one pings off their window! :rofl:

Seriously though, do your best to stay AWAY from blind spots.... But if this keeps happening where they should be able to hear you quickly... Battery to the window..... Shouldn't break it... But should scare them outta there mind! That should garuntee they won't swerve in YOUR direction! Where as if you just blow a horn you NEVER know which way they'll go! :whistle:
 
99Cents for a pack of 2 bright green luggage locks (metal and coted with plastic) wont break a glass window but will get their attention, if that doesnt work then use the regular gym master lock..:laugh::laugh:
 
Air horns are the trick. Many varieties that fit and several install threads here.
