XV1100SE Posted October 28, 2013 Share #1 Posted October 28, 2013 Anyone use Metal Arts horns ? 139db. I think they look nice. Choice of "cowbell" or trumpet style. http://www.metalartsinc.com/motorcycle%20air%20horns/accesories.htm $259 for the trumpet or $189 for the "cowbell". Expensive but got me thinking.

Flyinfool Posted October 28, 2013 Share #3 Posted October 28, 2013 If you are going to spend a bunch on horns, why not get really loud. http://www.hornblasters.com/products/category.php?id=8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XV1100SE Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share #5 Posted October 28, 2013 I'll stick with the Stebel's since I'm not sure where I'd put trumpets on the RSV. Just thought they were nice looking horns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowrollwv Posted October 28, 2013 Share #7 Posted October 28, 2013 I have two Stebles, one on each side, and a set of Revco trumpets, down under the bike and a set of Fiamm electric horns up under the fairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike G in SC Posted October 28, 2013 Share #8 Posted October 28, 2013 The other night, had a lady pull out of a side street to my inside lane on a downtown Columbia 4 lane, going head on at me, wrong way. I had several bikes behind me and a car to my right. I came to a hard stop flashing my brights at her and SOLID on the Stebel. She froze, head on with me, faceoff, 20 feet apart. Horn was very effective. I saw some tire smoke from a bike behind me pass over us. I think I also yelled something about "My #$%&*** Lane!" She went to the center (turn lane) pretty quick and had a melt down,,, so my last bike said. Sorry to freak her but,,,, hey DA,,, my lane! And,,,, my horn!

Flyinfool Posted October 28, 2013 Share #9 Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) I was looking at these thinking about putting the compressor in a box attached to the trailer hitch reciver and quick disconnect with an extra length of hose so I could have it in my trailer when I tow the trailer. Something like this? Then I was going to put a receiver tube on the trailer tongue for this and still be able to mount my cooler on top of it while towing. These are kind of big to put on the bike its self, they all have a 5" bell and the longest is 19.5 inches long, the shortest is 12.75 long.
