    The horn on my '12 sounds like a truck!

    If you need a LOUD HORN to ride your bike... you are riding all wrong! "deadman riding"

    What good is a loud (any) horn going to do as you head towards being munted upside the radiator of a truck no matter who is in the right.

    Ride as if your life depends on it.

    I cant even remember the last time I used mine because I just havent had the need to. Wonder if it still works?

    You got a current WOF on your bike?

    I have a Nautilus and previously had a pair of Fiamm horns. In emergencies, it's true you should be doing something other than using the horn, but the Nautilus comes in handy for waking dozy bastards up. I used it just twice on a recent trip across the Island, both times when following a driver who was going to use the whole passing lane to overtake one other car.

    When they hear even a short "WAKE THE FUCK UP!" they get out of the way. Previous experience suggests that if you gave them a blast on an OE horn you'd just get the finger.

    Make sure you put the Nautilus through a relay on your Bandit. It takes enough current to fry your horn switch over time and a relay is the way to go. I have one on my 1250 bandit (good fit under left fairing) and it's LOUD
