Ahooga Horn

[CB ARGH]

Hey guys,

Just got myself an ahooga horn, yeah, a horn that goes ahooga, how original. :laugh:

It is 12V, 3A, would it run on the bike? What electrical line could I run it through?

Thanks a lot! :Punk:

I have yet to test it out though, I'll tell you guys how it goes... well, I'm sure you'll hear it! :banana:

Thanks but it's quite big though. Wonder where I could put it?

Are they legal? If so, just use your existing horn wiring. You won't even need a relay.

Yeah, it's 23cm long and about 10cm diameter... I didn't realise it was that big too!

Okay just tried it with the normal horn wiring, it works.

The first few tried it sounded a bit retarded, but then after that it started to sound a bit better.

Fucking loud too, much louder than the original horn, should be fine with WOF, and if not I'll just plug in the old one for the test.

Time to find a place on the bike... yowch! :confused:

In that case, you'd be better off fitting it with a relay, and some heavier gauge wires back to the battery, via a fuse. Even the wimpy standard horn benefits from this. :yes: Plus the contacts on the horn button will thank you for not sticking an extra 3A through them.

$22.50 Including Postage. I paid $12.00 for the item. Cheap bit of fun, and if it doesn't work then oh well, it was a good laugh for a few seconds!

Thanks for that vifferman! Much appreciated!;)

Dude.

An ahooga horn is just awesome. I'd like to get one for my bike, 'specially if it's loud.

Just thought of something though - will people take your horn blasting seriously if you are trying to tell them off about anything on the road?

That would be my only concern about having one. If I'm pissed off at someone on the road, I want them to know about it, rather than burst out laughing.... lol.

Get dual air horns fitted then.

Nothing like people moving out of your way like you're a road train.
