Air horns

[akomplis]

Can anyone recommend a set of air horns....most importantly that would fit my R1 & R6?

Horns are a false sense of security. You can blow a horn thats on a train and people keep coming into your path because they are ignorant or just don't give a poop. Leave the stock one on and keep your skills sharp. You will be better off moving out of the way and giving a dirty look than diverting your attention to blowing a horn.

For sure no doubt...I agree....its just a mod I wanted to add that is all....nothing having to do with security

i have a set of air horns that were on my old car. Didn't want to install them on this car. They're still in the garage somewhere. Anyways, i bought them at pep boys for like $25 or something. It works off a motor that blows air out. Its linked by tubes. So i'm sure if you left the lil motor compressor in the trunk, you can just run hoses up to the front. The motor compressor is no bigger than a soda can. And they have choices from 2 to 5 horns i believe. You just have to mount a push button switch

i think you can pretty much mount up any air horn you want, just a matter of finding an inconspicuous spot to place the actual horn itself.... the compressor is fairly small so you could probably put that in the trunk, then its just running hoses and wiring where you cant see it...never put one on a bike but have installed a couple in cars. One point is the shorter the distance between the compressor and the actual horns the better they work...I say get crazy and put a set of la cuca racha (spell check???) horns on that biatch!

I think Wolo makes the Bad Boy air horn if thats all you are looking for. Very compact and loud.

La Cucaracha.....LOLOL....I would like that but in order to play that tune I thinkit would require multiple horns....that would be hot thought

I will see if Wolo can serve my need; my problem is that the R1 and R6 just about have no room...I will keep looking...the Wolo does have one unit, eliminating the hoses altogether...I will have to see if it fits in the compartment.

I have Stebal Nautalis horn and after 3 months the horn got weak and then my stock horn was louder. Don't get it, its really big aswell and hard to fit on a compact sportbike. I liked that when someone cut me off and i tried to hit the horn it sounded like a dying cat and i could yell louder than it.

I think cakes use to have air horns on his gixxer back in the day. But if you can get the ones from pep boys, all you need is that little trunk space to put the compressor. The packages they have are clear so you can see how big the thing is. Try to make some measurements and see if it can fit in your trunk.

Good luck with it.

I installed a new one on my bike and it fits under the fairings nicely. I bought it at the bike shop since I was unhappy with my high-pitched toy horn.

I have to say the new, louder, deeper horn get's less response. The high pitched toy sounding horn freaked people out on the road. I'm staying with the new one, but both horns are pretty useless.

Look up Stebel air horns on google
