Denali Soundbomb Split Horn Review
Does Splitting Make A Difference? The Denali “Soundbomb” horn comes in two flavors: single and split. We reviewed the single Denali Soundbomb horn last year. This “split” version is identical in terms of function, but it separates the horn from the compressor. They connect with an included thick plastic air hose. The big single Soundbomb horn isn’t …
Denali Soundbomb Horn Review
Big Sound From a Big Horn The Denali “Soundbomb” horn delivers the goods, with a 118 dB (measured) high-pitched tone. It looks very similar to the Stebel Nautilus Compact horn (review). In fact, we wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the Soundbomb is made by Stebel or by ex-Stebel designers. That resemblance also means that this …
Stebel Magnum Horns Review Redux
Mounting Stebel Magnum Horns on the Suzuki V-Strom 1000 ABS Most motorcycles come with a ridiculously lame kid’s toy sounding horn and the new Suzuki V-Strom 1000 ABS is no different. The big V-Strom was fitted with a single disk type horn with that familiar “meeeep” sound that gets nothing but laughs on the road. …
Blow Hard 3-Way Horn Review
The “Blow Hard” 3-Way Electronic Horn It looks like an old “ring the bell” bicycle horn, but the Blow Hard is actually a modern electronically-controlled sound system. It comes with three standard horn sounds and more can be downloaded from the Blow Hard website. All three sounds will get the attention of any fool daring …
Dual Horn Relay Wiring Harness
Installing a Dual Horn Relay Wiring Harness For some reason, dual horn relay wiring harness kits are difficult to find lately. The Eastern Beaver dual horn relay harness (review) that I’ve used before is no longer being made, unfortunately. But I found a new source and added one to the BMW C 650 GT scooter. Rolling your …
BMW Scooter Horns
Dual Horns for the BMW Scooter The tiny stock “pancake” horn on the BMW scooter is a wimp. Pump up the volume with an easy-to-install trumpet horn. Or add dual horns for a real blast! Here’s how… One of the first accessories I add to any new motorcycle in the stable is a more powerful …
Motorcycle Horn Comparison
Motorcycle Horn Comparison Redux Hella does it again with a 115 dB rated disk-type or diaphragm “pancake” horn. They’re not pretty, but the slim size fits where others won’t. Pair up the high and low tones for a particularly obnoxious and attention-getting sound. This didn’t start out as anything like a Part 2 of our …
Fiamm Freeway Blaster Horn Review
The Fiamm “Freeway Blaster” Horns An old standby motorcycle horn and sometimes hard to find. Authoritative car-like tone but with disappointing results in our sound level readings. These have to be the most sought-after motorcycle horn replacements used today, but for some reason it isn’t all that easy to find a true pair of high/low …
Motorcycle Horn Comparison Review
Motorcycle Horn Comparison Review Motorcycle owners can usually improve on those wimpy stock horns, but it isn’t always as easy as it…sounds. In a strange twist of reverse logic, somebody somewhere along the line laid down a rule: the smaller the vehicle, the quieter the horn. Think about it — big 18-wheeler trucks have horns …
Hella Supertone Horns
Hella Supertone Horn Review Surprisingly loud reading on our sound meter and the loudest in this comparison. The Hella Supertone horns have a brash and somewhat annoying sound that should definitely get noticed! This pair of Hella Supertone horns reads “Made in Germany” on the front diaphragm and “Made in India” on the rear part …
Stebel Magnum Horns Review
Stebel Magnum Motorcycle Horns Review With a sound tone that is similar to the Fiamm Freeway Blasters, the Stebel Magnum horns have slightly less volume but also offer an authoritative tone. We purchased the Stebel Magnum horns in England and the retailer had them listed at a rating of 139 dB, a figure that we …
Stebel Nautilus Horn Review
Stebel Nautilus Max and Compact Horn Seemed very loud while it lasted, all 3 seconds of it. The horn failed after about 4 beeps. Our Stebel Nautilus Compact was inoperative right out of the box, so Stebel has some work to do on the quality of these horns. Not recommended. I’m not sure if we’ve ever given …
Stebel Nautilus Compact Horn Review
Stebel Nautilus Compact Horn We didn’t get a chance to hear this horn, because it was inoperative out of the box when brand new. Based on this and our experience with the other Stebel Nautilus we tried, we can only give this Nautilus a “Not Recommended”. UPDATE: See the Denali Soundbomb Horn Review. A nearly identical replacement for …
Motorcycle Horn Relay
Installing Fiamm Freeway Blaster Horns With a Dual Horn Relay Ready-made wiring harness and relay kit makes it easy to add a horn relay to power a set of motorcycle horns. Uses high-quality components. Adding a relay can improve the horn’s output and reduce load on switches. We covered the installation of the Eastern Beaver …
