FIAMM i think are nicer, twin high/low fitted behind the fairing on the radiator mounts.. The magnum has a higher notes.

as what TSM says.

to be honest, my standard CBR horn wasnt much different on volume to the magnum horn, just sounds more like an airhorn than a bike horn.

and its quite a bit bigger too.

but for 9.99 cant really complain.

What ^^^^ Say, however, it not a fact of just replacing. You will need to put a relay in to activate the horns. If you go to the main sv650.org site and aheva look in the how to sections, its all in there. Twin FIAMMS are great fun, very loud and do the job.

I used the twin FIAMM snail-horns... Dead easy to fit on a carbed S, I just bolted them to the radiator, chopped out the old horn, put the relay in the hole, wired the horns into my "aftermarket stuff" loom, sorted. I'm vaguely considering fitting another couple somewhere, just for a laugh. They're not the loudest but they're so dissonant that they really get people's attention.

think ill go to halfords then ,and get they ones ,ive read/seen the guide on the main site thats what made me consider doing it ,it looks pretty straightforward(famous last words)

ive got a curvy s so i can hide them in the fairing gao ,cheers all ...off to halfwits now

They do the horns in diffrent bits or kits. I did not see the kit and bought the horns seperate and cost a bit more. Buy the kit and i think it comes with all the wiring & relay needed to fit to the bike.

Jim, either get the Ring fitting kit, or buy 2 rolls of decent-rated cable and a terminal crimp set. (kit's cheaper but the cables are all funny lengths, while the crimp kit is a useful thing to own in general, and will save you a lot of solvering and monkeying about.

I'll see if I can get some pics, the fairings are off mine just now so I should be able to get a nice shot.

northwind,,,i have enough cable in the cellar (single core ,left over from a car sound system set up ,,its thicker than reg speaker cable but not to thick so as to b unwieldy,should b ok)and i have to get a electrical connection set ,,spades and bullets and a good crimping tool.maplins have all that stuff .one question ,,as theres 2 horns did u mount them side by side??in the fairing (right side) down by the rad mounting bolt.?im going to have a go tomo ,,prob on here tomo night crying
