Agree to each their own.
Don't know about the feasability, but last weekend I was up at Grand
Rapids Guzzi. Looking at their two California? moldels, each had two
horns. I asked if one was high and the other low, but was told "no." It
looked to me that one could be used as a replacement on a Loop and be at
least semi-stock. They agreed it could be ordered as a single unit. Just
an idea.

Hi Tom, Stock location was just ahead of the generator in the semi-circular area of the frame bracing below the steering head. Attaches with an M8 x 20mm (?) socket head cap screw (allen head) through the hole above the semi-circle. O.E. was a Marelli unit, I used one from NAPA made by Fiamm for a close match on my '69. It was listed in their catalog as a warning horn for industrial equipment, not as a vehicle application. Nice gold cadmium plated unit (could be painted black for stock look), with a "Roadrunner" (the cartoon one) beep sound. Plenty loud if a relay is wired in. I can try to find the part number if needed. I'm very happy with the Hella units on my '72, but their location (and looks) may not suit everyone. Greg Bender has mounted dual Fiamm "snail-shell" style horns in a location similar to your present horn. Check out the horns on Jack Arnold's 850GT on my website (it's Loop of the Month for July). All depends on what you like I guess. Tom Christian wrote:
