Member Contributer Silver#788 Posted February 19, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted February 19, 2008 :thumbsup: I like your style. A little to bold for me..... If I could find a place to hide the horns I would be all about it. Looks good blue to blend in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

?art West-VL. Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 (edited) shouldn't be any issues hearing those! Thanks for the replies :D It is a bit bold, yes, but I don't really mind and yes, the reason is because of those *bleep* cagers‼ :beer: The color is a bit off, more a violet-ish color then the bike color, but it doesn't curse if you see it for real, depends on the position of the sun. I will try to get a descent sound clip for you guy's, they sound loud and it's a three-tone squirt! → The original still -meep-meep-'s along♫♪ lol :goofy: Edited February 19, 2008 by ?art West-VL.

SEBSPEED Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Won't they get filled up with bugs and rain and such? :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
?art West-VL. Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 I'm not so worried about rain since they are not hanging behind the wheel but next to it. If they do die in the first rainy ride, I promise to let you know in this thread! Bugs will probably get in there, hmm, maybe I'll steel some pantie's from the girl next door to put on my horn...

Thinking about it, maybe a fine membrane, like a piece of a condom or something, would make it waterproof and bug proof. Another thing: the sound file will have to wait, I covered the bike up for the rain that is predicted and I'm not planning to ride in the first few day's. If the clip is done, I'm posting the link here... Bart Edited February 19, 2008 by ?art West-VL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HUH? yeah right..... :goofy: :D :P :lol: FYI, gll429 is deaf (seriously). How about rotating them until the bell is facing down and backwards. Should lessen the water/bugs issue and sound travel will not be affected at those dB levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should lessen the water/bugs issue and sound travel will not be affected at those dB levels.That would be safer for keeping out water and bugs for sure! But sound waves are directional no matter what volume there produced at.The way they are mounted now, makes the sound waves bounce off the street and back up again, at an angle forward. If they would be mounted backwards the sound would be better heard behind the bike. Off topic: Lower frequencies are less directional vs. more directivity for the high frequencies. People who have hearing problems therefore can not concentrate on one conversation in a crowd because sound comes from everywhere. test: listen to a good speaker and slowly walk around it while playing music with high note content, right in front it will sound clear but moving to the side will lose the clear notes. Of course this is inside and a lot gets reflected from the walls, furniture, etc. In open field you would totally miss the high notes, because of that, when moving to the back of the speaker.

?art West-VL. Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Here is the sound file. :huh: * peep or tOOt * What do you prefer? (300kB) I doubled the sound and mixed it together, but the original sound and volume was not touched! Recorded behind a wall! Otherwise the sound was distorted. â–ºYour opinion please?

timmythecop Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) A note for the cheap amongst us: Last time I was in a junkyard, I removed and bought a set of horns from a Volvo. They are just like fiamm nautilus horns (they just may be for all I know) and loud as can be. I even took the mounting bar the horns were on. 5 bucks. I will photograph the mounting (i am thinking inside the fairing somewhere). Repaeat: very loud, five bones.
