So would one of the Stebel Nautilus compacts at 139dB from 'Nippy Normans' fit easily onto a K3 pointy?
Anyone tried it/done it?????????

Make sure you watch the guy who next MOTs your bike. It's such a laugh watching him jump out of his skin when he tests them.

My tester even had a trainee who was not there when he first heard them so asked him to listen up close to see if he could hear any clicking from the horns. Rotten thing to do to him, probably deafened him but seemed funny at the time.

Every year my guy just about ends up stuck in the rafters. And every year he says the same "You did that to me last year as well didn't you, you *******"

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 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:

Sorry to be a pedant, but those are electro-magnetic horns, not air horns.

Still nice and loud though!
