bhanxx Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 Has anyone mounted a set of dual horns on the XX? I was looking at these 2 Fiamm kits. 2 3/4" (125dB) http://www.ridesafer.com/main.php3?primNavIndex=1& 3 5/8" (134dB) http://www.ridesafer.com/main.php3?primNavIndex=1& Quote
nickc2s Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 Go to Griots Garage and get their Italian air horn. Instead of trumpets, the horns are snail or nautilus type with the compressor attached. It is $39 and a bit bigger than a grapefruit. I hung mine from the steering neck with zip ties and let it flop a bit so it moves with the forks. LOUD as in 139 db. It is sometimes good to be mistaken for an 18 wheeler. Dont waste your time w/ electric horns. Then get a headlight modulator..... Here in Florida, the old fuckers that drive are blind and/or deaf.

demon Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 Heck with horns, get some D&D's. They'll hear ya coming for miles and a good rev will let anyone know to get out of your way!!! It works fine for me. Quote
bhanxx Posted January 19, 2005 Author Posted January 19, 2005 You mean this: http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?&SKU=77839 I would like a few more details how u got it in there please, wow, i would've never guess ... Already have the Signal Dynamic Headlight Modulator and Taillight Backoff modules. Being seen is the 1st line of defense, kinda like launching cruise missles from a B52 at a safe discrete distance, when u need the horn is like being in a knife fight in a bar, things get scary and messy! Anybody do the dual Fiamm's? Quote
UncleJake Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 I have a set, but they're not installed yet. I was thinking about making a small bracket to mount them both on the same bolt as the stock horn. It may take a bit a tweeking to clear everything. They aren't air horns, but still nice and loud. -UJ Quote
nickc2s Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 Bruce, In front of the ignition where the frame drops off and before the first plastic of the dashboard is where I hung the horn from. If you look at the bike from the top of the front fender you can see the lower 1/6 of the red horn. Use the supplied relay so ya dont fry the horn button. Quote
birdie_xx Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 Ask Warchild. He did that to his bikes, recently to the FJR.... http://www.fjrtech.com/getdbitem.cfm?item=46 Something I want to do ! Cold weather and no bikes on the roads bring the worst in the car drivers ! Even when they see you they still come into your lane..... Cheers, Quote
