Dixie Horn - SV650.org

Well, my van seems to be a figure of fun at work and since I bought a caravan to use on race weekends it has only got worse. The shouts of pikey as we pull up to work are really quite hurtful

(no offence to traveller folk.)

well i'm gonna try and win them all over by fitting a dixie horn. Lets face it, ill be the coolest kid in town! Any ideas on where to get one and how easy they are to fit?

Check out www.airhorns.co.uk.

However, multiple tone horns are not for road use (in fact, they're illegal to use on the road). That said, in the car park at work will be fine.

hmmm, just been looking at some of those horns to hide in the fairing, although most of those horns are only 12v they are pulling 18 - 20 amps, thats going to hurt my bike battery.

I noticed some musical horns in motorworld - they were Stebel ones so will be decent quality

How often do you press the horn button?
