blast that!

Seriously thinking about getting airhorns fitted to the bike to remind them in the cages that can't see me that indeed, I am right there as they attempt to squeeze me out of my lane...

Somebody here will probably give you the right info but I suspect that you'd need to check that your battery is capable of handling them and whether the law will allow it.

I had really loud horns (just standard, plus an accessory one, wired up with a really and heavy-duty wire to the battery), and used to blast anyone that got in my way or was dumb.
I'm in two minds as to whether to get decent horns on the current bike, because I wonder whether it might mean that I tend to blast rather than be careful and avoid trouble, and with the number of psychos around, is it more likely to provoke road rage? If I'm going, "Take that, dickhead!", I'm likely to be angrier than if I just accept other road users are bigger eejits than me, and if I encounter a particularly psycho eejit, a horn blast might be the thing that sets him (or her) off.

Anyway, you go for it.

My mate has airhorns on his CBRrrrrrr, they are awesome - great for those damn taxi and bus drivers!
Im actually gonna put an airhorns on my KR for the same reasons.

Should be fitted to all bikes. If space is a problem, do what I do and just fit one horn. The one with the nastiest tone of course.

Completely un-necessary. To attract the cage drivers attention simply press their wing mirror with your fist.

I fitted air horns to Der Uberfarter. Was a bit disappointing cos they weren't as loud as I hoped for . But still loud compared to jap peep peep horns. But not compared with the LOUD BMW horns. Battery is not lilely to be an issue, cos you would normally only use them with the engine running, and for a short time.

yea...I don't use it very much, cos, though I have nothing against gays...theres just something gay about that peep peep...

I fit electric air horns to all my bikes now, get them from Repco for about $70 a pair, they rock and they are small and fit easily to most bikes.

Have em' on the Z.
Bloody good for scaring the crap out of pedestrians an starting fights.
Never use em' to signal cars an such in traffic,,,,I mean what's the point,,,you just avoided the prat or you ran into him/her,,,if you had time to use the horn you weren't in danger anyway.
Their just good for attracting attension after the fact,,,,after all they don't see the bird if their not looking,,,,,,,,,right.

Had them on my last bike and am in the process of fitting them to the GSX.
a word of warning... don't use them in close proximity to cages in particular as the reaction can be :slap: unpredictable!

Even roadrunner horns can be fun, we pulled alongside some dickweed busily texting when we were in the work van. I waited till we were right alongside his window and gave a long blast on the horn (actually it was a long beeeeeeep). He still shit himself, the look on his face was priceless.

might need a bigger bike to put them on and carry the tanks around though

Are you sure about that?

Perhaps you're fitting them for those windy days when you're riding down Willis St & Lambton Quay, You'll be able to give pedestrians plenty of warning when you get blown off the road and up onto the pavement!

I use mine preemptively. Cager shows the slightest sign of inattention, looks vaguely like they might change lanes, not give way,is on my AutoHazard list (Indians, taxis, Asians in expensive cars, BMWs, women in SUVs, any vehicle with a "Baby on Board" sticker etc ) ; they get a "Wake the fuck up and pay attention and notice that I'm heading your way" blast. A short blast first, then a prolooooooooooooooooooooonged one if they still seem dozy (follwoed by appropriate evasive action).

Get a few WTF looks, and some fingers and yells, but who cares. At least they've woken up. Not had anyone try to start any serious aggro as a result.

Yep, my horns get a LOT of use. And, best thing of all it's recommended in the Road Code. Just being a good lawabiding driver , officer. See, like it says right here.
