So..Being new to the forum I suppose it would be wrong of me to ask how you know this..

But living in the Welsh valleys I know what a goosed sheep sounds like..

Yeah all horns get wet... they just should not be drowned in water, should be positioned so water isn't forced up into the internals.

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....

Just curious, but what kind of "car" horn never gets wet?  Have you seen where those things are on a car?  Trust me, they get wet!

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.......

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
