Anyone upgrade their horn?

[Ezzzzy1]

I figure this has been talked about a few times before but I was looking to get a little more specific.

Has anyone upgraded their horn to either of these:

Hellas:

The Hella cheaper alternative:

I am thinking about throwing one on my bike, if anyone has any thoughts or has done this themselves I would like to hear from you.

Also they come in sets, I will only be using one so if anyone is interested in upgrading theirs I will have an extra one.

upgrade? i'm about to take mine off for weight savings, LOL

IIRC, Mother Goose has them on his R1...

I have a Stebel on the Duc... and I used it today to wake up a texting teenager. Loud as all get out and worked like a champ.

go with compact airhorn. Do a tutorial I want to upgrade mine at some point but i think my exhaust is loud enough for now.

I just yell beep

Every time I need the horn, everything I yell gets censored out... Does that count?

Supertones on the R1.

I rarely use my horn. I prefer to give a little rev rev as well!

You used them both? I have read a little into it and saw that a couple people said that they were no louder than the stock ones, I cant imagine that being true?

If you only ran one was it plug and play or did you have to run the relay?

Pretty sure this is the one I have installed on the 600RR. It is loud a shit and gets attention fast!!!!

I'm just using 1. Trying to fit 2 under there would be pretty difficult. Just the 1 is way louder than the stock R1 horn.

It is plug & play with 1 horn. Only probably with it, is that I have to remove the horn to put it on the front stand.

What a great idea, never thought of getting a louder horn to make idiots out there's ears bleed when they cut you off or almost kill you when they turn left in front of you, sweet!

Definitely gonna look into this for my next bike.

Is this the whole shabam? The air tank is on the right side?

Figured two was a lot. Plug and play

Did you buy the set? Where did you find just one for sale?

I got it from safedrives.com. I bought the set, but sold the other to Sascha.

Cool cool. Thanks for the input man!

That was all for mine. Never heard Wicky's but I bet this one is louder; Sound Output: 139 dB and sounds like a train horn!
EDIT: Psshh....139DB compared to 118DB!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Keep this in mind: sound energy doubles for every 3 points you go up in the decibel scale.)

Per the website though:

In addition to this horn & relay, you'll need to pick up the following items from Auto Zone/Pep Boys/Radio Shack to complete installation:

MATERIALS (not included with horn):
- 14 to 16 gauge wire, 10 ft - 20 ft length (more than enough)
- 2 splice-in wire connectors (blue plastic variety)
- 6 female blade-style quick disconnects (Radio Shack 64-3049)
- 3 ring connectors for attachment to battery terminals
- 1 in-line fuse holder with 30 amp automotive fuse
- weather resistant electrical tape (or just use weather-sealed heat-shrink connectors)

^^ Ummm yeah... what he said.

I took off the charcoal canister and replaced it with the horn. Used the existing bracket and everything. Worked like a champ.

Also, there are tons of links out there where guys have split the horn in two and ran air lines.

Where is yours mounted Nate?

[mdub]

I rarely use my horn.

i just go...

but a tougher sounding horn would be better than the stock. i'll probably replace , but near the bottom of things to upgrade.

[SaShWhO]

airhorns are nice and loud but heavy, labor intensive to install and take up lots of room.
Go with the plug n play Hella!
it's plenty loud and simply mounts in lieu of your stock horn.

[bulldog]

Where is yours mounted Nate?

On the side of my frame between the fairing; just zipped tied in there, but never comes loose. Can't see it unless you take the fairing off.

[Ezzzzy1]

I think the air horn is a little more than I am looking for. Im going to do the hellas.

Anyone want to spit the set? Im just going to order them so if anyone want the other one let me know

[SaShWhO]

before you buy lemme check with my buddy.
I took mine off a while back to get the front stand to fit better and left it at his house.
Turns out I have no need for a horn.
If he still has it it's yours
