Meep! Meep!

[strandedinnz]

My bike horn sounds like Road Runner and people either can't hear it or think "Aww cute!" as they cut me up :-( I really want a horn that suggests I'm screaming "DON'T DO THAT YOU STUPID FECKING FECKER!!!!!!!"

Can anyone tell me if air-horns are legal on a bike here ? Something like the "Screaming Banshee" seems semi-civilised, but would it get through a WOF ?

Thanks!

I've got one of these fitted, passed every WOF no prob. The VTNZ guy nearly dropped the bike when he tested it, I don't take it there anymore.

The standard one on my Harley is great. I brought one for Mum and put it on her new Toyota cage last year.

+1 on that. The v rod horn has a good noise. Stebel if you want to really honk though

had air horns on a bike once,bloody good, people would swerve out of the way then look for who did it.

Classic, though it would have been less funny if he had dropped the bike. A bit less funny. Tragically funny?

As you will have seen, Stebel is the only way to go.

If you can't fit a Nautilus compact (I couldn't on the gixxer) you might consider the magnum or if you can do it, get the two toned pair. Not quite as loud as Nautilus singly, they come close in the pair. Good note though.

Incidentally, that nautilus I couldn't fit into the gixxer I put in the car. Use it to scare cyclists and pedestrians...hurhuhur :devil2:

Ta very much for the replies ... time for me to go find one :-)

im guessing you had the nautical version on this particular machine:shifty:

[Silage]

I have a Stebel Nautalis on the DRZ and it is great. Had to separate the compressor from the horn as there is so little room on the DRZ to mount extra stuff up front. Horn is zip tied to the indicator and the blower is in the rear joined by some pressure hose. Works fine.

Don't know if anyone has tried these from DX.com - BikeHorn (http://dx.com/p/compact-motorcycle-air-horn-with-relay-black-silver-12v-165362)
Looks like a Stebel ripoff but at $US22.71 (= under $NZ30) might be worth a try.
