Horn upgrade
I read through several of the threads about horns but didn't find any where anyone actually did a horn upgrade and had pics/details about the install and results.
Anyone have any stories to share? The horn fell off my bike so I went to the dealer to buy a new one but they take a week to order and it's $50. For a weasly little horn I can get much better deals on aftermarket but want to find some instructions and pics and experiences to make it an easier decision. I'm less than mechanically inclined but I figured something as simple as a horn I couldn't mess things up too badly with some good help from ya'll. Thx. |
I tried wiring up a Hella Supertone horn to my F3, but I kept blowing a fuse. IIRC, you need to use a relay (usually included with the horn).

Well, I ended up going with one of these: http://www.fiammamerica.com/Product.asp?ProductID=153
Was a pretty easy mount. Just had to bend the bracket down about 50 degrees. Put a little locktite on the nut, hooked up the wires, tested turning lock to lock, everything cleared. Got it for $10 out the door at my local auto parts store.:D As opposed to the $50 local honda dealer wanted for a factory stock Hawk horn. Also, for those of you who don't know. The horn from the current gen CBR100RR is a direct replacement with the Hawk. |
Yeah, grab the Fiamm set if you can fit it. I installed a set with relay on a Moto-Guzzi I had. People hear these things, like an ocean liner or freight train!
