Title: Hella Supertone Horns... 1100M Post by: Frustration on June 13, 2011, 02:07:49 PM [evil]
Yes, There is a slight difference between these horns run here... And the little Stocker run behind the Oil cooler.

And the look? Well.... ..thats.. ....that's... ......really somethin'... Title: Re: Hella Supertone Horns... 1100M Post by: Heath on June 13, 2011, 09:55:54 PM Please tell me that is not where you are mounting them.

Title: Re: Hella Supertone Horns... 1100M Post by: Frustration on June 14, 2011, 05:41:22 AM Looks not quite as bad from a relative perspective, but yeah, they're there... no question.
Not for everyone for sure, but I kinda like the look and farkin love the music...

This was the only place on the forks that wont interupt air flow and or risk hitting the fender as the fork moves... They're big suckers. You also have to use the horn bracket metal (without bending it) that comes preinstalled to the horns to allow the horns to vibrate for full sound... I talked to Hella and they said thats one of the most common mistakes is removing thos strips and mounting them differently. A more solid mount dramatically cuts the vibes and volume... The relay can be tacked right to the stock horn mount and use the stock horn plugs. Power off the battery...

Horns should heard, not seen, imo. I bought this set... (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/nordog59/horn.jpg) ...hit 'em with some rattle can paint and mounted them below the front signals. (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/nordog59/RS01.jpg) Paid under $17.00 for the set (with relay included) back in '08. I think they run about $20 now. The included mounting tabs actually worked perfectly for that mounting location. The only draw back is that I can't use them around cemeteries because they wake the dead.

You can, but Hella tunes each horn in the pair differnety for a combined effect. Title: Re: Hella Supertone Horns... 1100M Post by: NorDog on June 15, 2011, 10:06:16 AM You can, but Hella tunes each horn in the pair differnety for a combined effect. That's true for all the two horn kits, Hella, Fiamm, or generic like mine. To two separate tones combine synergistically to be really loud. I think you have to go with an air horn to get somthing louder (or a steam whistle; now THAT would be cool; only I don't know where I would put the boiler).

(http://www.pezcyclingnews.com/photos/charles/duchorn2.jpg) Your bike looks good from this angle. I like your choice of mods, and I really love those forged wheels! There's really no hiding those two weapons, kinda like a woman with large boobs. :D Title: Re: Hella Supertone Horns... 1100M Post by: hcomp on June 15, 2011, 02:09:48 PM How come you have a wrist band around the brake fluid reservoir? That is an old racing trick to soak up brake fluid if it spills out of the reservoir Title: Re: Hella Supertone Horns... 1100M Post by: corey on June 16, 2011, 08:16:45 AM That is an old racing trick to soak up brake fluid if it spills out of the reservoir my girlfriends been doing it for years, and im sure she had no clue why. her brother always did it, so she did too. she really likes having a funny one. hers says "robots are watching" on it Title: Re: Hella Supertone Horns... 1100M Post by: Frustration on June 16, 2011, 11:40:41 AM Yeah now a days it's there for not much more than looks. Some folks will say it keeps the sun off the fluid too...

To two separate tones combine synergistically to be really loud. I think you have to go with an air horn to get somthing louder (or a steam whistle; now THAT would be cool; only I don't know where I would put the boiler). This is correct. The horns operate at different frequencies. You can run just one by itself and it is still quite loud, but the effect of the horn is much more pronounced with both to make a kind of dissonance. Hella horns in particular are popular with Subaru owners (I have a set myself) and if I recall they produce roughly 110 decibels. It's a great way to make sure people can hear you from the front, as well ;D Title: Re: Hella Supertone Horns... 1100M Post by: NorDog on June 16, 2011, 01:52:21 PM This is correct.

Title: Re: Hella Supertone Horns... 1100M Post by: EEL on June 16, 2011, 02:00:22 PM I dunno, I like to idea of having a non-wimpy horn but there's gotta be a better place for those.
Personal opinion only but it kinda looks like you turned your bike into a giant ladybug Title: Re: Hella Supertone Horns... 1100M Post by: Charlief on June 18, 2011, 12:36:13 AM I have had the same horns for years. Took them apart and had them pc'ed black. One is in the stock location and the other is below my headlights. I wired them up using a relay so they get full juice.
