My danglin' horn

[toodie]

I was doing a pre-trip inspection the other day and found my horn danglin'. Bracket sheared right off. Looks like there are/was 2 pieces to the bracket. I assume for strength.. well that didn't work. Should I replace with a thicker/heavier one piece? Or is there a reason for 2 thin pieces? Heck do I need to put it back never used it anyway .

1/8" x 1" steel straping should be enough.

The same metal your frame is made out of......makes you feel good at 100 mph,huh?
ha ha

The same damn thing happened to mine. I replaced it with a similar bracket and it soon broke too! Screw. Just left the damn whimpy ass horn off. Recently ordered a new one with a little more bite. Not sure where I'm going to mount it, but I'll come up with something.

The only person that uses mine is the inspection guy when I'm gettin a new sticker.

Mine broke in Sturgis last year during our group ride. I replaced it with a piece of 1/8" x 1" bar. I even painted and baked it in the over and it shouldn't ever break again!

Mine broke at 3000 miles. Well that's when I noticed it - who knows when it broke?

I think I will get one of these for next year's inspection

Bell Sports Inc 1002138 Bugle Bike Horn

It is probably louder than the stock horn :roll:

What horn,
After my bike leaving for Biketoberfest without me I’m afraid to touch any of those fucking buttons on the bars, I don’t use any of them but the run and start (for the compression releases).. My luck hit the horn and trigger some hidden LED’s…

 

[Reaper]

Yep, mine broke to.

My last bike I installed a Federal Signal Cop Horn and FEd Signal amp. I could make people shit in their pants a mile in front of me...I miss it.

just saw mine broke too !! the bracket broke. i got a new bracket....and hooked the horn back up...and the horn does not work now. there is power going to the horn, because i hear a buzzing noise when i press the horn button...but it does not beep
