Title: Re: BLASTem Post by vhfkid on 05/07/09 at 05:49:23 I got mine at Autozone, for $20. It is made in italy and looks like the first one D.Jim posted. It bolted strait to the stock horn bracket, and the terminals were the same size, so no major mods needed. They have two 139dB models, one fit just right, the other didn't (The horn faces backwards). So ride out to the store and make sure you get the right one. I didn't even consider the 125dB model, it was $15, but loudness is what we want right? A word of advice: the side of the horn slightly touches the turn signal bracket on our bikes. This is easily remedied by filing out the hole just a little in the horn mounting bracket and moving it 1/8" toward the tank, or by shaving a little off the front of the horn. I believe having a better horn saved my life once already, and prevented quite a few close calls. Best $20 I ever spent! |

Title: Re: BLASTem Post by Reelthing on 05/07/09 at 09:48:38 Believe there was some step by step on installing a small airhorn on the savage - needed a relay to really make it sound like a buick |
|
Title: Re: BLASTem Post by vhfkid on 05/07/09 at 11:00:57 The smaller horns like the first one D. Jim posted do not require a relay. I find it loud enough, but if you want a diesel truck sound then you'll need some heavy gauge wire. |

Title: Re: BLASTem Post by Sandy Koocanusa on 05/08/09 at 19:59:16 Instead of spending your money on a new horn, try this: 1.) Raise the face shield on your helmet. 2.) Extend middle finger vertically and display in a prominent fashion. 3.) At the top of your voice, yell "Get your boney a$$ out of the $%!#% street you %$$#! idiot!" 4.) Go spend your horn money on a chocolate coffee at McDonalds. Boy, will you feel dandy. :) |

Title: Re: BLASTem Post by sluggo on 05/10/09 at 17:33:27 i've got a real loud buick horn. scrares the crap out of the bluehairs |

Title: Re: BLASTem Post by diamond jim on 05/10/09 at 19:21:13 I thought it was funny when I discovered the stock horn on my '06 S40 and the stock horn on my '78 280Z I had in high school were the exact same horn. Since the 280Z horn still had a good factory black paint job, I swapped out pieces with the bike's horn. |

I won't flatter myself that people think that I'm "dangerous". ;D Always nice, quiet, polite, etc. Everyone says that's the ones to look out for, but I've never actually been in a fight in my life. Although the one time I was mad enough to, the guy locked himself in his car, so maybe there's a thread of truth there afterall? :-/ Ah well, I stick my my motto: I'm a lover, not a fighter! :D |

Title: Re: BLASTem Post by Sandy Koocanusa on 05/15/09 at 05:54:22 Not me. This bike has turned me into one Baaaaad dude. I've even started contemplating lane splitting and (gasp) I might just start parking on the sidewalk next to the door at Walmart. Next I'll be drinking caffeinated cola and dancing in public if things don't slow down a little. |

Title: Re: BLASTem Post by John_D on 05/15/09 at 06:06:56 Talk about a wiiiild and crazy guy! :D If I tried lane splitting in Portland, I'd probably get doored. Plus, it's illegal, according to that State Laws thread. No no in WA and OR. I don't park on the sidewalk; I need all the extra exercise I can get! :P |

Title: Re: BLASTem Post by Rocco on 05/15/09 at 09:08:01 we learn in kenpo that the guy screaming and making a show is the scared one...the quiet guy just wants him 2 get closer lol and ironically enough i haven't been in a fight since i started training...i use it all the time but never a full out fist fight....probably because u learn 2 be aware of problems b4 they start GASP!!! regular cola??????? lol i would inject mountain dew in my veins if it didn't leave marks aahhahahaa |

Title: Re: BLASTem Post by Duane on 05/15/09 at 13:18:39 I'd don't have blood any more just mountain dew. |

When I was a noob, I figured I'd better be good, no lane splitting. Very quickly I changed my mind cause I was dodging cagers left and right to blind to see the bike next to them. Figgured it's better to be where they can see you or they can't go. |

Title: Re: BLASTem Post by drharveys on 05/15/09 at 17:43:48 I learned the subtle art of splitting lanes by following the CHP bikes on the San Bernadino Freeway while commuting to grad school. It sometimes looked like a mother duck followed by her ducklings -- we'd always let the CHP by. I learned a lot by watching where, when and figuring out why the cop would stop splitting and ride into one of the lanes. Of course, it's not legal here in Missouri, but sometimes I get real close to the lane divider and just merge into the one that's moving. 8-) |

Title: Re: BLASTem Post by Jay on 05/15/09 at 23:17:04 Just put on one of the Autozone horns. No mounting changes, connections are the same. 132db. Noticably louder. $19.99. Of course it won't do a thing for the dingbat that was driving, applying mascara, AND talking on her cell phone; all at the same time! If only they'd give me a motorcycle mounted death ray. >:( |

Title: Re: BLASTem Post by Rocco on 05/16/09 at 11:13:31 hahaah i bleed code red as well! some bleed ford blue, or packard green....but i bleed good old dew! they say dew lowers your "seed count"....i then asked my friend how many little "me's" he wanted in this world....he poured me another one right there ! ! ;) |
