Anyone replace their stock horns (Nevada Classic IE or other) with anything aftermarket, or figure out how to make the stock dual horns louder? :idea:

The stock ones sound kind of wimpy. Especially comparing them against the stock Yamaha V-Star my brother rides, and the Harley's my neighbors all have.

Thanks

Chris
 
Well Duh.

Figured out the high note horn must have a bad diaphram.
Low note diaphram is weak too.

So - will be in the market for new ones.

Anyone put on anything aftermarket?

A Fiamm horn is the cheaper and easy way to go. I just replaced the stock horn with the low tone and I can even hear it going down the road now. :eek:

+1 on the Fiamm. Install dual high and low tone Fiamm on my Stelvio. Used a relay so not to burn out the horn switch. Now sounds like a big wheeler coming down the highway.
 
Thanks Marc & Canuck -

Nice to have some feedback on what ya'll are using. The Fiamm's sound like the ticket and are priced well. BTW, never thought of looking at Aerostitch! Had one of their suits back in the early 90's when I had the LeMans. HAd to match the bike ya know......

I did get the one horn working (for the most part) again.

Only thing I'll miss when I replace is the chrome horn covers from the factory!
Hello Ebay......

+1 on a Fiamm high/low set if they are the same as in the 70's when I was using them. The pair won't win against a train or a semi but they're legitimate competitors at least worthy of entering the competition. I plan to put a set on whatever bike I get next.

Eastern Beaver (no, that's the name, really) has horn relay set for motorcycles. Routes full elec power to the horns for greater effect. I've never used it, but have used EB's other stuff and been very happy with the quality and price.

Or just get a 30 amp automotive relay. I use the bike's wiring to trigger the relay (connect to 85 and 86), a fused line from the battery to power the horn, then a wire to the new horn(s) (87 and 30). Simple and cheap.
 
Or just use a prewired plug and play horn relay harness. I used my Stebel horn wiring harness for my dual fiamms. All the necessary wires and connectors are already there and nicely wrapped. Just hook up the horn trigger wires, then wire in the horns, and power and you are good. Looks like you can pick them up on Amazon for a reasonable price. Makes it all a hell of a lot easier.

I'll probably order something that I can plug and play.
I'm a mechanical engineer by trade.
So that means I'm "Electrically Challenged"!
Hooked up some Hepco & Becker twin lights a couple weeks back.
Was nervous as a you know what in church when it came to splicing in to the electrical system!
