VifferRiderUK Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Hi, I've just bought an 800 and am very happy apart from the horn! Stationary it seems fine, but when riding it appears extremely quiet! Anyone else noticed this please or do I have a defective horn? TIA for any replies. Great site btw! :smile2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrypz Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Sounds like a motorcycle horn to me. The only bike horns I liked on a stock bike were on BMWs. Mine gets a few extra tests as it is about where the blinker was on my last bike. Still working at retraining my thumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Jochem Posted May 2, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted May 2, 2015 I think it is normal. I'm thinking about installing another one which is louder though, but I think it's hard to get one in the same position as original as it's a very tight fit.

VifferRiderUK Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 I've done a bit of research and have been looking at options. There's much better horns available but two main issues: size - there's not much space and the aftermarket horns are mostly much bigger, also current draw needs to be considered with the possibility of having to use a relay and extra wiring. I've taken a gamble on the Stebel HF80. Looks small enough and 'hopefully' a lot better quality than the Honda one! Will give feedback when fitted.
