    I have a mini set on my cruiser because the normal horn couldn't be heard over my pipes. They are very loud. My install was pretty straight forward, I bought a small bracket from bunnings and drill and tapped it to my frame. Does your kit come with a relay as the new horn will draw more current than the stock one

    Have 'em on the busa. Mine are the cheap plastic ones. Hints?

    Don't put the horns near anything that get hot (ie keep them away from the exhaust headers). And just make sure your horn circuit can handle the current. If it has a separate fuse you'll know soon enough

    Finally - don't rely on the horn to let people know you're there in traffic. If you have to go for the horn it's probably too late anyway.

    Loud horn would be handy when you are sitting at the green light behind the texting/talking/eating/makeup applying driver in front.

    Isn't that what a loud pipe is for?

    yeah i got the relay in the set, got some 2.5mm flex, from what the tradie told me hes use to pull 10amps so got it covered, waiting to get some fully insulated lugs tomorrow, and about time i picked up a crimp set, dont want to use the back of the pliers haha. I will probably take it apart tomorrow and see what i can do, nothing cable ties cant hold up, was just a cheap Supa Works set for $30 get 2 horns and the compressor, pipes, t of section, and bolts and brackets.
