Who has the best horn?

[pzkpfw]

I was concerned about the reported unreliability but haven't experienced it. There was a guy on KB did several group buys, a lot of people bought them but I haven't seen any whinging.

...

I got one of those in a group buy. Always worked fine.

A few months back I saw it was wobbling around a bit. Removed it and found that the bracket it came with had a stress-fracture along 80% of the bend. It was about to snap off (and given where it was mounted, do something very bad to my ability to steer). Reconnected stock horn for the present time.

(I'll be putting it back when I get around to it, this time I'll use a relay (bought the bits from JayCar), and I'll power both the stock horn and the magnum. Stock is fairly high pitched and the steibel is low, so should work well.

The plan is to mount the relay protected under the seat, near the battery. I'll have to run the stock horn leads back to it, then the relay-switched power back to the stock horn and on to the steibel.)

what is an invisibike?

it's a portmanteau of the words "invisible" and "motorbike", which, by given the context, would indicate that my bike is an invisible one.

does that mean it is imaginary?

no, it just means you or the rest of us can't see it, can't ride it and can't hear it

But Akzle can (in his mind), and on KB that's all that matters

Looks like I'm a bit late to comment but the dual Fiamms on the GS1100 are really LOUD. Mounted in place of the original squeaker and run through a relay. Not air horns so no long trumpets and no compressor to mount

The Nautilus does not have "long trumpets" and the compressor is not large. As I posted earlier I had a twin FIAMM setup previously, it was loud but still sounded like a motorbike; effeminate compared to the Nautilus(?).

You should have the relay close to the horns. Then you just need to run a power cable to the relay, and can use the existing horn wiring to switch the relay. Simple.
