    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.

After about 10 years of listening to horns that sound like a sick goose, I thought Id try a $10 replacement. It worked a couple years ago on an old Honda I had. This time on the GS all I got was a bee...and then the fuse blew. So I break out a can of electric contact cleaner and proceed to fill up the old orig horns with cleaner through the little adjuster screw I removed. 1/2 a can later and some shaking for good measure both horns WORK like new. Been a long time since I heard that sound. \\:D/
 
I wish I had some air horns, to help alert those trucks on I-95. I have thought about putting some on, but wondered where to put the compresser.
 
The FIAMM horns work pretty well

You can buy a pair in high/low tone combination, and it has that dissonant tractor/trailer sound that gets people's attention, and each horn is 130 dB. You should use a relay so the button isn't handling too much current, just enough to pull in the relay. I wired the feed up directly from the battery on the horn side, and you can put a fuse inline to protect your electrical system. They're not air horns, but they're pretty good!
 
You don't need air horns. :shock:

Just go down to Wal-Mart or your favorite auto part store and get the Highway Blaster horns. Get both, the high and low tones. You may need to install a relay, especially if the horns only have a single terminal and are grounded through their mounts.

You will still sound like a truck, but it will be more like a Silverado or F150 than a Peterbilt. 8-[

I got this for my birthday (the chrome one), and it screams! well worth the investment...
 
It may not have been the cleaner that did the trick, but the removal and re-insertion of the adjuster.

I have had a seemingly dead horn resurrected with nothing more than a twist of the adjuster.

go to pod filters on the carbs and then you can put a small compressor where the air box used to be \\:D/
