    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Just picked up a 1981 GS650. Everything works except the horn.

How do I replace it, and where can I get one!

First bike...........................can you tell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Horn

Horn

I had the same dilemma and had no problem at all. Almost all horns connect with 2 male, spade connectors (horn side). It will just take you a couple of minutes to replace it. I bought a 125db horn for $15 delivered from www.ridesafer.com and it works quite well. 8)
 
Make sure before you go spending money on the horn that it's not a wiring issue. Got a Clymer's manual?
ALthough, even if it's not the horn itself, it's probably a good idea to replace it with a louder one.
 
Automotive horn and relay

Automotive horn and relay

I have an automotive horn I picked up at Pep Boys, and hooked up an auto relay meant for an old Chrysler product. Cheap and loud enough.

As for the stock horns, they make interesting paperweights.

When the switch is on the horns have 12 volts standing on them at all times turn the button round and round as you push it , it may just need cleaning DO NOT TAKE IT APART!!!!!!! Ihave worked on and fixed things all my life and there are few things I wont touch , but after tangleing with that switch and finally fixing it I would rather take a good ass whipping than put my self through that again.
