That little "beep, beep" of the OEM horn, ''IF'' heard by anyone, only makes them look around for a clown car. Since you're not in a clown car, and you want people to acknowledge your presence, a better horn is in order. | That little "beep, beep" of the OEM horn, ''IF'' heard by anyone, only makes them look around for a clown car.

You can get a '''LOUD''' FIAMM horn for about $15 at a regular car-parts store (e.g. O'Reilly, Advance Auto Parts, etc.) Places on eBay have them, as well as [http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/Search?catalogId=10101&storeId=10101&sku=fiamm+horn&searchbtn.x=0&searchbtn.y=0 JC Whitney] | You can get a '''LOUD''' FIAMM horn for about $15 at a regular car-parts store (e.g. O'Reilly, Advance Auto Parts, etc.) Places on eBay have them, as well as [http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/Search?catalogId=10101&storeId=10101&sku=fiamm+horn&searchbtn.x=0&searchbtn.y=0 JC Whitney], [http://ridesafer.com/store/item/fpc3/Horns/Fiamm_AM-80_High_Performance_Trumpet_Horn.html ridesafer.com], and [http://www.amazon.com/FIAMM-72112-Note-Universal-Bracket/dp/B000DINKPQ Amazon]. | ||
Get the low-tone; The 125 dB [http://www.fiammamerica.com/Product.asp?ProductID=154 AM80] is popular, as is the 132 dB [http://www.aerostich.com/catalog/US/Fiamm-Freeway-Blaster-Horn-p-17137.html Freeway Blaster]. They're way louder, and are a bolt-in replacement for the stock horn. Point the bell of the trumpet down so it doesn't collect water, and cover your ears before you test it in an enclosed space. Even with it pointing down, it is loud and can be heard by cars and other motorcycles easily. | Get the low-tone; The 125 dB [http://www.fiammamerica.com/Product.asp?ProductID=154 AM80] is popular, as is the 132 dB [http://www.aerostich.com/catalog/US/Fiamm-Freeway-Blaster-Horn-p-17137.html Freeway Blaster].
