I love having a reasonable sounding horn. I put some air horns on my truck. The horn on the drifter sounds... ahh... very wimpy. I replaced mine with a set we sell our store... they come in black and chrome and I really like the look.

I hear ya Troll, the last 3 times I used my horn in traffic, was to tell the cars in front of me at a light that the light was not getting any greener...

Other than that as I pass a friends house..

  Did anyone notice a wee screw in the back of the 800's horn.........well if you turn it in the horn goes silent....screw it back out and what a horrible sound, so once you find the correct spot it is rather loud and a pretty cool beep beep sound comes out...but that is in the living room.....now to wait to hear it outside.......

RATMAN I was thinking....look out.... ::) and the 1500 have 2 horns I'm assuming one low and the other high decibal.I think by keeping the original horn and adding another should solve the weet,weet issue.What do you think?Also you can rattle can them to your liking,either red or black.......

Well I went to Canadian Tire and looked at those horns, right on the package it said for M/C's too. Read a bit farther down the packet, do not place near heat, or were water or mud can splash on them or near a high pressure hose........well they are out for now then.....

45 was saying I would mount that horn if it was not so big and it would look so out of place.

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

 ;)I do have the old steel pot in the garge,but don't think the law men would look the other way when riding with it....besides I wouldn't want to disapoint TROLL being as he is an instructor and all.....do have plenty of the od greens though

   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.

D1 perhaps you should get some period riding apperal to match your ride....lol.....
