The Sounds of Meep ! Meep!

Have you ever used your OEM horn on this bike, and yet this is the best thought you can conjure up?

Now meet the PIAA Slimline Sports Horn. 
  • 115dB, 500Hz lightweight horn is easy to install
  • Perfect for limited-space applications
  • No wiring harness is required
  • Product ID: 1027206
  • Manufacturer: PIAA
  • Manufacturer Part#: 76501



Any aftermarket horn is going to be larger than your OEM horn.  And while you could have just plopped it into the same location as the OEM, I thought it was a bit curmudgeon looking.  When installing the horn, make sure that the vents are down (so you have half a hope that it might drain out after you ford water!)

Here's where I relocated it to:

Original Horn Location

PIAA Slimline Horn Relocated (Engine Left Side)
To get it there, I unbolted the OEM bracket and reattached it to the bracket near the coolant reservoir.  Notice I have intentionally put the bolt heads on the "motor side", in case a bad crash they won't push into engine vital bits.

The horn does not appear to need a relay. There is plenty of slack in the OEM horn harness to get to this location.  Additionally, I was able to reuse the OEM horn connector by just snipping one of the 2 webbings.  Using a pair of dikes, just snip the webbing on the connector furthest from the wires.  This will enable them to open wide enough for you to slide them on the PIAA spade connectors. Removing the obnoxious PIAA sticker makes the horn blend into the bike better.
