    Meep! Meep!

    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.
    Just another leather clad Tinkerbell.

    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
