Want to get rid of that scooter/taxi sound of a horn on the SV.

Been briefly browsing for the Stebel Magnum, i want something loud and "quality" sounding and most of all something easy to fit

What did you recommend changing it for?

Now then, horns eh?

The Stebel Magnum is the one I opted for. It you want to be cheeky, it's a direct replacement for the stock horn (just cut the stock connector in half).

I even helped fit one at AR07 (OK, I tell a lie, I drunk beer & he fitted it to his own bike...).

I decided that a single Stebel Magnum wasn't loud enough (135dbA IIRC). So I added another. This wasn't loud enough either, so I added some marine air horns.

It's starting to sound quiet again... or is that my hearing that's going?

?13.99 from Halfrauds. I used the two metal brackets that came in the pack and wedged them behind the radiator cover. It has a nice rounded 'parp' sound (model TM80/1) and works well on drivers and sheep

As mentioned I had to split the connector and some sheath with wire cutters, it's very short and limits the horn placement options. As an aside I found the horn will screw directly into the radiator hole if needed, but might help bend it if you drop the bike.

If you use 2 horns then you need a relay IMO

Stebel nautilus compact are good if a little large i bought one for my bike but it got fitted to my van sounds like a locomotive horn

, a cheap easy fix and a big improvement is to fit a car horn most cars have decent horns nowadays ive got a spare alfa horn if you want it.
