I have got the horn!

check this out, have just ordered one. To be honest after the morons I have encountered on the road on the last two days these puppies should come as standard on every bike!

The horn unit looks like a Stebel Nautilus which is about £35 off ebay or Halfords etc. I'm not sure I would want my high beam to operate at the same time as the horn. My worry would be that car drivers might pull out infront of you or turn across your path thinking you are giving them the OK to go which is what they think you are telling them they can do.

Sounds like a train at a level crossing, I want one!

I'll let you know what it is like when it is fitted!

yeah fair point there but it will only do that if you press and hold to activate the full horn, not just the normal horn.

I can't think of a single situation that would warant it.
By the time you've seen the danger, decided to use the horn, used it, their reaction time and then their action you could've easily taken evasive action.
By the time a horn is used the danger is normally gone.
All you would be doing was alerting someone that they nearly hit you.

Yes and also given some of the drivers round here, it would erm how do i put it... oh yes wake the tw*ts up!

You never ridden down London Road in Bath!!!

I use the horn to prevent an incident. If the driver in the car gives me a V then fine, at least they've seen me!!!!

A horn is a warning that you're going to be there in a bit, not a rebuke, although it can be a good stress relief if you've encountered a real twunt :P

I have the mini Nautalus and it sounds like the two-tone horns fitted to the 60's and 70's Ferarris, so I think it's suits my Aprilia in a noisy shouty Italian kind of way ;D
