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. >any tips on installation and wiring?

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? --Darryl Richman, INTERACTIVE Systems Corp. ...!cca!ima!ism780!darryl The views expressed above are my opinions only.
