Very simple under $20 mod, to increase your ability to get other drivers attention.
Simple bolt off, bolt on install.
It is the Fiamm freeway blaster lowtone horn. IIRC it is 132 db at 4" It is a whole lot louder than the stock horn.

I did this on my FJR...Huge difference on the FJR. I find the FZ6's horn is better than the stock FJR's, but still the horn upgrade is nice. Something about being able to blow the chrome of the bumper of a '69 buick as it comes into your lane

I got mine at advance auto parts. Mine failed this evening. It is warrentied but it is still a shame. I know parts either work or they dont. LOL

Here it is installed. It broke though, and I have to get another one. LOL

i cant even begin to describe the 'horns' in vietnam.
headache inducing is an understatement, and you can switch between several tones on the fly.

wish i had brought one home.

**wrightme43** · 04-26-2007, 11:12 PM

I wonder how you would get something like that here?

greenthumb · 04-27-2007, 12:02 AM

horns there are used as commonly as turn signals here (and vise versa)most of them are just loud 'regular' horns, but the one i have in mind was unique and played a quickly alternating high-low note that sounds air powered.
i didnt acually get a chance to see one of these units, but i did hear them mounted on everything from busses to some of the millions of 100cc Honda Dream bikes, so they cant be that big, complicated or expensive.
one of my videos has an example of them, but its a huge file so ill see what i can do to put it up on the net somewhere if anyone is interested.
mabye its available on ebay, but id have no idea what theyre called.

Does this horn come right on as a replacement for the stock horn? No need to change any wires, or anything? Just hook the new horn up to the existing wires and that's it?
