Going to try again, had some new Hella red/ black dual tone horns I installed last year after painting car but they crapped out on me, I have one old original OEM- but just not loud enough to get attention of the idiots that doesn’t look and cuts you off- if I can’t be seen I need to be heard!!
Thanks |

Many times have watched a car at a stop sign or light to the right just start to roll into my path - and the 120db air horn on the bike stopped them in their tracks. On a bike you can't take the chance.... This horn is compact and great - self-contained compressor..... https://www.amazon.com/Stebel-11690019-Naut...ASIN=B00CMX20H4 GN |

I recently installed a similar Marco "Tornado" unit on wife's Miata. VA state inspector said it sounds "real eye-TAL-yun." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Too rainy/windy to go out and take a pic, so screen-grabbed this off Thompson-Automotive's web-site:  BTW, Miata already had a horn relay in place. |

Steve - Thanks for the tip - I have an older Stebel that still works great, and got one for a friend and noticed it was cheapened a lot.
