LP's right. Air horns usually (not always though) have an air line coming from them to a compressor. Like my new ones do. :D

It dawns on me I have a spare pair of the FIAMM airhorns now, but they're only about £15 new so they're barely worth selling :rolleyes: But if anyone's interested, £10 and I'll chuck in a relay and the set of rubbish aluminium brackets I made for fitment to a faired curvy.

They're this sort:

How loud are they Northy? I'd be interested for the sake of a tenner! Or is there any louder ones available for a similar price?

Hmm if only I could secure the band to my bike- to blast out loud rock music to blind car drivers!:rolleyes:

Not as loud as the Nautilus, which is pretty much a sonic cannon :cool: But still, pretty damn loud. I don't know the numbers unfortunately- some claim 132db, others 143, I don't believe the second tbh.

I'd definately say they're a better option than the Magnum, though- they're possibly not as loud but the dual-tone dissonance effect makes them miles more attention-grabbing, I was pretty unimpressed when I heard a Magnum.

So aye, at £10 I reckon they're a good deal, but then I'd say that wouldn't I :) They're not much more new, though. I'd sooner fit a Nautilus but they're big and awkward, the real selling point of the FIAMMs is that they're smaller and lighter-- easy to fit:

The wiring takes a wee bit longer but the actual horn fitment you can do in about 5 minutes without removing the fairings, if you have girlyhands.

Ok well for the sake of £10 I'll have them- gotta be better than standard!
How much you want for postage?
