    Horns on my '85 550L

    This is my first post to this board, so please bear with the newbie.

    I recently acquired an '85 GS550L and I'm trying to get it back into roadworthiness. Both stock horns are shot (I checked them with a power supply) and I'd like to replace them with a pair of Faimm Freeway Blasters. These are slightly larger than the stock horns, so I'm wondering if I need an additional relay and connection to the battery, or if the stock wiring can handle them. Any advice would be appreciated.

      Always best NOT to strain existing harness, so run a seperate fused line to operate new horns with relay triggered by horn button.

          You can run those Fiamms on the stock wiring but you won't get full volume. Much better to run through a relay. One of the best safety mods you can make too.

          Good luck with it,

              Hi Mr. Bonaventure,

              Yes, I would use a relay.
