Horn Repair?

[Roger P.]

... that bad boy is looking good I reckon!

Heavy, hard to mount cleanly, crap single-point mounting system, complex, short lived, ugly.

I'd go with a decent electro magnetic horn like a set of dual Fiamm Freeway Blasters or Stebel Magnums (if they are still in business). I gave up trying to mount the Bad Boy on my GS1100 in a manner that wasn't conspicuous. I did find a spot where my old ignitor sat where I could zip-tie the compressor and run a separate air line to the horn section, but then I got some lag between pushing the button and the horn blowing. I took it off and went with the dual originals after cleaning them. The Bad Boy rolled around in the trunk of my car for about a year before I tossed it.

Fiamm Freeway Blasters

The was the other horn model I was trying to remember.

Well for the moment it's a moot point... my stock horn now actually works better than it used to... and I have no idea why...

I will still upgrade but it appears not so urgent now.

Thanks for the feedback on the bad boy, I looked at the dimensions and was wondering where I could put it.

Many years ago I put a pair of Fiamm brand air horns on a car of mine and while I liked the sounds, the remote compressor meant too much of a delay for a quick beep when you really needed it.

I think I'm leaning back towards the pair of Stebels at the moment...
