A pair of FIAMMS or Steilbl(sp?) should do the trick.

With that you will need a relay some wire, some spade connectors, and a bit of know how. I'll try and find the link on the main page on a how to.

Mount the horns on the top radiator mounting bolts, bend the brackets you get with the horns out a little so they clear the forks.

Fitting instructions on the main site, in the FAQ section.

Fiamms about £15 from Halfords.

No room on the viffer for em. Looking at some air horns somewhere on the bike.

Don't use the relay kit Halfords sell, the relay's rubbish. Maplin do a much better one, or VWP too.

You can safely run one of the snailshell FIAMMs as a direct replacement, no relay- I've been doing that for about 6 months since the other one died and I removed my orrible wiring. They're designed to work as a pair, though, just using one loses the dissonance effects, which is what makes them work so well (twin FIAMMs are more effective than a much louder horn, as they're so penetrating and obnoxious)

Easiest fitment for yours is to bolt them to the radiator mounts-

Not washing it is optional.

I have one on my SV to, though I did it with a relay as I found that unless I was running the bike it was a little wet.

And make sure you angle the horn so that it doesn't collect water else its overnight on the rad in the house to get it working again.

Plowsie, if you want mate, buy a single magnum (it's better than stock, and if you're not happy you can add to it later) and I'll fit it for you at the next meet.

I watched over SoulKiss (and drank beer) whilst he fitted one on the AR. With the stock meeper, you can just take the wires off, and put them on the magnum.

I'll show you mine when we next meet too.
