Technical Bike horn?

[bredsticz]

Any reason not to fit a motor bike horn on a car? They are working out much cheaper to buy

None that I can think of. My old GS has twin horns with no relay. Usual current and voltage checks obviously.
Have you tricked around with the adjuster screw ? The old horn may have life in it yet.

Depending if its a 6volt or 12v bike

But tbh there isn't a good reason why you couldn't
You tend to find motorbike ones are narrower to fit neatly into the frames

If the motorbike one is 12v then itll be fine

It is a 12v one yes and i didnt know the horn had an adjuster screw on it

Generally hidden under a blob of sealer. The internal contacts wear and a bit of adjustment can revive a dead unit or improve the sound of one that's going off.

Strange! most of us bikers tend to junk the bike horn for a larger louder car horn or two as standard bike ones are nearly always crap.

Warning! Off topic rant.

In all my years riding I have never used the horn(s). Generaly the times you might want to someone is doing something incredibly stupid or is blind or both. If I thought that a horn blast could improve eyesight or concentration I would push the button but there is no way of knowing what the reaction will be to loud noises so as usual I just learn to be the invisible man.
Anyway the time to push the button could be a whole second that could be better spent organising the anchors and looking for the bolthole.
