She wants big hooters!
« on: 30 September 2016, 12:18:49 pm »
Hi all,

I was thinking.. it wouldn't be a big job to fit a super loud horn in place of the standard one.

Any recommendations?
I'd like something that can wake the dead for around £20-30 if that's possible.

I'm getting a bit fed up of pedestrians just walking out in front of me without even looking. I think a good set of hooters might make me feel better about the whole thing.

Cheers!

Brett

That's interesting.

There is the mini one that pulls 5amps.
Or the non-mini one that pulls 20amps and is twice as loud.  :eek

That looks like the one I have fitted which is a stebel (im not sure if you can still get them ) this is it http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-horns/stebel-magnum/review.htm
I have just one and was almost a straight swap, I just needed a longer bracket, posh name for a bit of bent metal.
Sounds much louder and deeper than the piss pot OEM but not as loud as a proper air powered one. Still makes the MOT bloke jump every time

I've got the Stebel Nautilus, you can get them over here but you'll have to do a good search for one.

Take out your baffle, pull in clutch and roll your right hand back as far as it will go. Works every time.
Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

But then everyone will consider you to be a complete and utter c**t.
Trust me, the amount of complaints i hear from workmates that travel long distances and forever complain about the revving brigade makes me quite embarrassed being a biker.
Worse still, i've had it done to me before and felt a sudden urge to get off my bike in front of them and spin their crash helmet around with their head still strapped inside.
It ain't big and it ain't clever, and will get you zero respect from anyone, apart from other dickwads who do the same thing, who are normally hiding their boat race behind behind their forever tinted visor.  :groan


This also mirrors the behaviour of pizza delivery mongs, and scooter riders, who think they're about to go supersonic but then chug away from traffic lights like a beard trimmer with a low battery.  :wall
