Bah....

There's nothing wrong with my "original equipment" thanks... (well, ok it's not as good as your suggestion, but it works quite well thank you) :devil2:

I bet honking THAT at a car will piss them off big time :yes:

Hm

That thing would be a pig to mount on a bike. It's a big lump and they only provide one tiddly little bolt to hold it on. Could be hard to find a big enough space on a bike to shove that into.

It looks like the same compressor I've got on mine, and I was quite disappointed with them

Thing is I think, there are two things to consider, the LOUDNESS and the AMOUNT of noise. The ones I have are loud OK, but there's not much QUANTITY of sound to it.

Summit to do wiv frequencies or summit I guess. Or pumpkins maybe? Dunno, but I wanted sumthin that sounded like the Queen Mary about to run you down, and got something that sounded like an angry mouse if you stood on its tail.

lol.. very descriptive.. I thought one thing about airhorns is that you can adjust the pitch? Or is that not always the case?

a mate has one of the pnematic (sp? sure theres a u that goes in there) horns off a semi, was going to mount it in his hilux but the things need like 30psi to run and use a large volume of air

Hm . Not on mine. Unless I missed something. I must ahve a look, could be. But they were very cheap crap from Supercheap, so I guess I probably got what I paid for. I also have a set of Hellas, that I am going to fit instead, and pass the Supercraps on to Mrs Ixion

well it's not meant to stick on the nose cone of the bike. You're meant to hide it. And the one(s) he's selling are black too, so they won't stick out too much if they're on a hog and can't be hidden. Could always see how much it'd cost to chrome them.. and the dimensions aren't that big, for what it is..

Reckless misuse of a horn-$150

Knowing that you have woken up a neighbourhood with it - Priceless

I heard of someone who had a set that sounded like a truck.

There was still a problem because everyone was looking for a truck and didn't see the bike.

I haven't got time to use the horn, too busy avoiding and swearing.

i think i've got the same cheapo horns as you, and the same dissapoinment about them.
if only i had the space (and cash) to conceal one of these.http://www.wolo-mfg.com/837.jpg sound (http://www.wolo-mfg.com/837.wav)

Sorta looks like BC's ones, on the cop bike, now those things are impressive (well, s'pose they should be, IIRC he had two)

Everytime he blasted them, all the kids heads turned, made my little horn very jealous (go away NC with all those clever innuendos :nono: )

Man I'v got to get one! Won't attach it to the bike tho... Will tie it to a length of rope and use it like a mace! That way if any one asks "What the?" I can say "Its my horn, I only use it to warn people that thay are too close" Brillant eh?
