I have this acumen one. Really loud for a standard looking horn.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Acumen-Motorcycle-12V-Extra-Loud-Replacement-Horn-/261209234714?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item3cd1489d1a

Took 10 mins to fit as uses standard wiring.
And as a bonus comes in a nice tin, I keep all my Dremel bits in mine..  :lol
Lord,
Grant me the WD-40 to move those things that are stuck, the Duck tape to fasten those things that are loose, And the wisdom to know the difference.
Amen

Horns do tend to draw a fair amount of current. You may need a relay so that you don't burn the switch out.

I was also tempted with one but read some reviews they die after a year or so. and if water gets in it then its screwed..
Also like mine looking standard so Mr MOT does not moan.

I did the steble upgrade, lasted just under 18months before it died and I was never over happy with the fitment.
While it worked it was Awsome. My mot guy almost had kittens when he hit the horn on the test LOL
Didn't bother with another in the end, and just went with the same acumen One as shown above. I to use the tin still LOL but I keep washers in it :P
It's much louder than oe but not in the same class as the steble.

Ps I got my steble from halfords, though back then there were a lot of them on eBay etc to.
 A mate has Dixie horns on his blade LOL. Dukes of hazards style :P compressor under seat, wired through a relay and about 6 horn tubes in the fairing

I got these, they come in pairs and the 500hz/600hz version is best imo.

Has resisted a lot of crappy weather and has a nice, loud tone. Needed a relay though.

Just wire them through a relay.
