- January 26, 2013, 15:28:31 PMThe retro looking horns on mine (they are air horns) are just as loud as the Stebels and look a LOT better. I really like them. And, they come in chrome or black!
I have two of those Stebels on my truck, along with the oem horns. A little tap and only the oem's come on... hold it down... it does sound like a truck!info:

yup as soon as it warms up enough to walk around a junkyard and in and out of the vehicles.

- January 26, 2013, 08:55:24 AMok let me answer the questions in order....
Chief: the airhorns look really good, but I am afraid if I mount them on my 800, the frist time I use them I might eat the windsheild because the bike comes to a screeching halt from the flow of air out of them......
PC and Chief: I know were the horn is on my Jimmy and trust me it gets wet, but this is an aftermarket horn so I am not sure what it can withstand. Also for $40.00 I want to hear the sound before I do all the work and effort to mount it, I'll have something good soon....
John: as for how a goosedmonkey sounds, if 45 said he knows what it sounds like then please do not ask how he knows this fact, it might just ruin your day, remember he lives in that state. Also the state of his mind is not like us normal people.....very important to remember that fact.......

- January 20, 2013, 15:08:03 PMYeah all horns get wet... they just should not be drowned in water, should be positioned so water isn't forced up into the internals.

- January 20, 2013, 14:56:12 PMQuote from: CDNRatMan on January 19, 2013, 12:14:41 PMJust 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!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....

- January 20, 2013, 14:50:14 PMI 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.

- January 19, 2013, 16:41:35 PMI 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..

- January 19, 2013, 16:16:31 PMHUH,had no idea of that screw...then again my horn is still attatched to the bike.Good find RATMAN....I'm telling you,you need to move to the states and be my neighbor...... 
Posted by CDNRatMan
- January 19, 2013, 16:05:41 PMDid 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.......

- January 19, 2013, 15:56:50 PMRATMAN 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.

- January 19, 2013, 10:09:20 AMI'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.
