    Guys and girls!

    My horn's had it finally, after a year of making half-arsed meep meep noises, its now silent.

    What are peoples recommendations with respect to horns?

    Ive heard good things about the Stebel Nautilus. Has anyone had any experience with these.

    Much thanks

    Ive always thought a bike boot into the side of a door was a better alert than a horn ......:D

    My horn sounds like crap as well. I want something that will actually be heard. Can I fit a loud car horn?

    I reckon if you have time to use your horn AND safely respond to an emergency situation, you're paying enough attention to the road!

    That did cross my mind. To bad they are illegal and will probably end up causing me to be run over.

    The stebel's work well and are not much bigger than the standard horn, just need somewhere for the compressor.
    If your old one has stopped working it may just need adjustment. There is a small screw (sometimes with a locknut) on the horn body. This is a stop for the electro magnet and holding the button down and turning the screw will usually bring them back to life.
