painterman67 Posted October 28, 2008 Share #1 Posted October 28, 2008 I am looking to replace the horns on my scoot,but I'm not intersted in anything like the steebles. does anyone know of an electric horn that works better than stock and still looks good. the horn on my wifes honda is loud as h*** and chrome to boot,but when I took hers to the Honda shop they said it was not stock. Just wondering cause like I said not interested in a steeble set yet. Thanks for the info in advance David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon_One Posted October 28, 2008 Share #2 Posted October 28, 2008 Steble horns can now be bought in full custom chrome. One price I saw was about $150 for it. I think current prices for the normal chromed plastic units are around $45-50. Big difference. I would have to see one of them before plunking down that much green for a horn thou. As to your queston on electric versions I don't have an answer there. Sorry Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tx2sturgis Posted October 28, 2008 Share #3 Posted October 28, 2008 I put a Fiamm electric horn on my 07 Venture. Not sure about the bike you have, but on mine, it was an almost exact replacement, and its louder and higher pitched, and its mounted down under the left lower cowling where no one sees it anyway. I kept the chrome stock horn on the starboard side. I didnt have to add any relays, and it works fine...and doesnt cost a whole lot. I bought mine at Autozone. The one I added is a Fiamm #72102, High Tone. To make it fit I had to shave a small amount of the plastic off the new horn, and fab up a small bracket extension, but since its under the cowling, its invisible to onlookers. The sound kinda 'bounces' off the pavement, just like the stock horn, but since this new one is louder and higher pitched, it sounds OK. Not as loud an air horn, but it does OK for what it is. It's rated at about 132 db. Other members will have different options, I'm sure. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21Y2JV92M6L._SL500_.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigShell Posted October 28, 2008 Share #5 Posted October 28, 2008 I've got two Fiams, a steble, and both stock horns on my bike. The stebel I mounted under the trunk. I bought a high and a low tone Fiam and mounted them by the front cowling, under the airbox and on top of the crash bar. The high and low are mirror images of each other so one mounted on the left side just right and the other on the right side. The Fiams and the stebel all run off of one relay. Few people even notice the horns... until I hit the button. In the last pic, you can see I used the straight bracket that came with the horns. I tied into the airbox support and let the horn bell sit on the crash bar. I've put 25 to 30k on the bike since mounting them. No problems yet.

Venturous Randy Posted October 28, 2008 Share #7 Posted October 28, 2008 I have had Harbor Freight air horns on my 1st gen for years and they are loud and work great. I mounted them facing forward under the upper fairing. They are real cheap as in $10 to $15 and easy to hook up. I know you asked about electric horns, but these are good.

Snarley Bill Posted October 28, 2008 Share #8 Posted October 28, 2008 i bought two really loud car horns and they through in a goldwing. :cool10: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big red Posted October 28, 2008 Share #9 Posted October 28, 2008 i used a stock horn from a honda valkery with the stock yamaha horn. i mounted it right behind the stock horn and just used 2 jumper wires from the stock horn.it also adds a little chrome and is loud enough to scare the s%&t out of the old people down here.

Seaking Posted October 28, 2008 Share #11 Posted October 28, 2008 I placed my Stebel under the front fairing (shroud) and it's louder than loud I left the stock horn on the right side just to keep the spot occupied.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VentureProf Posted October 28, 2008 Share #12 Posted October 28, 2008 I put two Rivco electric horns attached to the lower mounting bolts of the two air boxes. Left all the others attached and working. Works great, looks stock. Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponch Posted October 28, 2008 Share #13 Posted October 28, 2008 I placed my Stebel under the front fairing (shroud) and it's louder than loud I left the stock horn on the right side just to keep the spot occupied.. Yeah, I did that too. Definately louder than stock. Made at least one careless driver get back in her lane (in a hurry!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaking Posted October 29, 2008 Share #14 Posted October 29, 2008 Yeah, I did that too. Definately louder than stock. Made at least one careless driver get back in her lane (in a hurry!). I can honestly say that mine saved two lives and caused an idiot driver into a guard rail at the same time. Better the guard rail due to her stupid fault than killing two innocents with the same stupidity. Cell phones, cars and idiots don't mix.. A driver may not give a biker the same respect or space as a full sized vehicle on the road but when they think there's a semi up their rear, you get the required attention. Loud pipes saves lives to some degree, but a LOUD horn does wonders.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FozzyUSN Posted October 29, 2008 Share #16 Posted October 29, 2008 Does anyone have the db spec on the OEM horn used on the 1st gens? The Stebel seem to spec out around 136 or so. Was wondering for comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snarley Bill Posted October 29, 2008 Share #17 Posted October 29, 2008 if you want some loud horns cheap, get some off a salvage 1800 goldwing on ebay. sound just like car horns. they are loud and very compact. there may be some on there now cuz they are parting out a couple of wings. bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbran Posted October 31, 2008 Share #19 Posted October 31, 2008 I just ordered these from here because they look more like stock to put on my 86venture. They are rated at 136db for the pair and are high and low pitch. Only 3 db less than the steble nautulis on my 06midnight. And these are stebel brand. Should be here monday so we will see how they do. http://shop.gpecustom.com/product.sc?categoryId=1&productId=18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snarley Bill Posted October 31, 2008 Share #21 Posted October 31, 2008 Is it just the 1800 Goldwing that has the louder horns or would they be the same on some of the other models? Jerry that i could'nt tell you. all i know is my horns on my 1800 sound like the big car horns of old. i have never used them yet. just not a horn honker. i would rather use the finger gesture, with a few well picked words of old. :cool10: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylvester Posted March 21, 2017 Share #24 Posted March 21, 2017 I have had the original RIVCO air horns since 2002 on my Venture and replaced the air lines once. Very loud but only out front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaharly Posted March 23, 2017 Share #25 Posted March 23, 2017 I thought that I read on here that the stock horns are adjustable. Think they got them to be pretty damn loud after the adjustment. Its probably something the dealerships never do but are supposed to. That ring a bell to anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
