What would be awesome is if you could setup a PA system like they have in cop cars, the ones that sound like a mega phone and you can talk thru it, man would I be telling some people off, I already get road rage from people that cut me off, I have yet to kick any doors yet though... someone is going to get it one of these days, it's bubbling up... < Message edited by ddvs -- 7/28/2006 12:34:50 PM > _____________________________ A Contributor (in reply to angryscientist) Post #: 4

RE: louder horn for my cbr - 8/1/2006 3:06:34 AM    zerochickenstrips Posts: 513 Joined: 7/31/2006 Status: offline Horns are pretty simple actually. Its generally a two-wire connection; cars or bikes. It uses electrical resistance to activate a diaphragm inside of the housing, which is what makes the tone. With a little connector modification, you should be able to use just about any horn. Some horns take more power to operate, however, so it might not sound the same on your bike as it did on the donor vehicle. _____________________________ '06 Black CBR 1000RR '91 CBR 600 F2 streetfighter (in reply to burner) Post #: 10

I like it that way though! (in reply to ddvs) Post #: 12
