I have a set of the Fiamm electric horns.  Paid 29.95 at my dealer.  They
are louder than most of the Japanese subcompact car horns and perhaps on
a par with a large Buick.  They are easy to install if you have a wiring
diagram to your bike.

Your friend is right.  Fiamm's come with the needed relay.

Why is it that manufacturer's put toy horns on real vehicles?  It can't
*really* save them that much money, can it?
