Hi Jack,
I'm using a pair of Hella horns mounted one on either side where the top
of the crashbars go into the frame. Made some "L" shaped brackets so the
horns face forwards. The horns are about 4" round, black with red
grilles (mostly why I chose them - they go with my color scheme) and are
LOUD! Got mine cheap ($36) on eBay, normally they're around $65. Cheers,

| Took the trusty Eldo out Saturday and, after a mile or so, the horns started to blow. Last ride was a few days ago in a major rain, so I figure water got into the horn switch or somehow the wiring to the horn got found a new ground. No big deal. I stopped beside the road, disconnected the wires from the horns, and taped them so they could not short against the frame. What to do now? The stock horns look neat, but are not very loud. After I fix the wiring, how do I get real horns? Can these be taken apart, cleaned, and transformed into serious warning devices? Or do I replace them, and if so, with what? Any experience in this area will be appreciated. Also, note that there will be a European bike rally in Pueblo on June 17, 18, & 19. It is held in conjunction with the local art museum opening a three month exhibit on motorcycles, the bikes, the music and the art associated with them. I am in charge of rounding up the European bikes (Harley's are the other half of the bike exhibit) and we have some really great bikes for the show. Cost of the rally is Zero, as in Free. Great town, interesting bikes, and good nearby mountain roads to ride. Contact me for further info. Italian bikes will be well represented.
