I used to have these on an old 250 many years ago, made by Fiamm.

Fantastic..........

There are as loud as any twin horns on a car and will certainly shock a few that you should aim them at :yo:

I had a set of air horns on a fj1200 a few years ago. VERY loud, souded like a 40 ton trucks horn.

Took a bit of fiddling to fit them under the fairing, but was well worth it

I already have the said twin-tone Fiamm air horns fitted to my bird...


Nice n loud, but since fitting, I have only had t use them once:cry:

They did have the desired effect tho' :eek: (guy in car nearly crapped himself)

Cost at Halfords @ ?19.00 as part of a kit c/w relay & wiring.

Worth every penny:bow:

Just taken delivery of one. If I ever get around to fitting it (might be selling my baby ), will it connect straight into the wiring or do I have to put the fused link in as suggested in the fitting instructions?

Afternoon ianrobbo1 - where did you get the stebel from? And does it fit straight onto the existing wiring as per scruffygit's question?

Cheers

Oops :xm should have read the entire thread - I see nippynormans do them. So a quick edit - which one have you got ianrobbo?
