I'm trying to remember that last time I needed the horn in traffic...it's been years. The only time I blow it is when I go by a friend's house on my way to Ft. McCoy early in the morning, just to annoy him.

Ratman, I am not being a smart ass, (I looked into getting one myself but like you, the size turned me off)

That's a cheap mod,PC.The 800 only has one horn,but would be fairly easy to build a bracket so two horns could be hooked up.

Figured I'd do the car horn replacement thing sometime.  http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/airhorninstall.html

   If you are going to make your ride look like a WWII dispatch riders bike then you need to get some WWII clothing to match.....

 45 you can be a smart a$$ because I had looked at one but have you seen how big they are......

I saw a horn at Canadian Tire the other day and am going to go and check it out it is a dual horn and I am sure I can fab some sort of bracket to make it look correct.

I think ratman should get the oogah from a model A ford horn for his, it would match his riding attire.

LAMO.....45,that's histarical!That would deffinately be a perfect match for our good fellow,though. ;D....I can see him doing this.

The 1500's have 2 horns, the previous owner took off the low note horn, so mine sounds like someone goosing a monkey.

I have thought of getting a louder one, my friend has a multi function horn on his, it sounds like the police horn (not the siren) it will get your attention.

I just have not upgraded yet.
i TRY to keep at least a 75+ft. radius between me and any vehicle with 4 or more wheels..

I think I might just add a low tone 335 hz replacement to mine and keep the meep meep Road Runner horn. One of them fell off a while back when the bracket broke. I found it hanging by the wires when I stopped while out riding. Since I had two on there I just left it alone. Its a a high freq horn, so adding a low freq to it should make a good combination and get more sound.

Features & Benefits

Low tone, 12 V., 108 decibels, 335 Hz.
15.99

Now Don't get me wrong, I lioke the looks of the horn in the spot up front  and everything, but once you press that button, and that weak kneed sound comes out it is not funny, I would like something a bit more startling towards people who pull in front of you and cut you off, air horns are too big in my mind...I will shop around.....

I think there's something to be desired beyond the stock "meep meep" horn.  There's always the train/truck air horn route, as an option at the other end of the spectrum.

My good pals,RATMAN & CHILLIDRIFT are talking about getting louder horns for our Drifters.Ratman has modified his new crash bars with two new holes to install the stock horn with the possible future of an up graded louder horn.Chillidrift mentioned that he was looking to install a stock car horn to replace his "squeek  box"LOL........I'm pretty content with my horn at the moment,but up grades for safety reasons are always a plus to those drivers that have no respect for the road to begin with.Just wondering what my fellow riders did for an up grade if any..........
