This is something thats interested me for a while. Post up if it's a good product. I like the price range and I'm tired of people cutting me off and acting like they didn't see me.
A loud horn isn't going to change that, but it might make you feel better. Alternatively, you could buy the Fiamm for $15, or just yell. |

I forget the brand, but I bought these at Auto Zone. I painted them flat black because I hate chrome and to hide the intrinsic ugliness of the darn things. But they are loud. I mounted the relay to the inside of the left side carbon fiber side panel on the outside of the frame under the seat. I love 'em.   |

They are the same size and shape as the ones I have, and linked to. Maybe the are the same. I think they sound "Italian"  |

Nice mounting job! You know, I know that a loud horn won't change anything really, but you know, it would make me feel better especially since the glare that I give to the idiots who cut me off doesn't seem to be penetrating my tinted visor.  In the end, the piece of mind would be worth it to me. |

Thanks Dave. In reality they can save your  Years ago I had someone begin to pull out in front of me. It would have been painful. I had time to blast 'em with the horns (same type of horns on a R90/6 back in the 80's). The cage drive slammed on the brakes and looked terrified as if he were about to be hit by an 18 Wheeler!  They can make a difference; just don't depend on them exclusively, if you know what I mean. |

OK, so I finally got around to installing this thing and I know one or two folks were asking about the WOLO version of the Stebel. I found a perfect place to mount it under my airbox (where an oil cooler would normally be. I used a flat piece of steel to bolt the horn to the frame where the bolt hole for the old horn was. (see pic #1) I had to mount the horn on its side ,but it works just fine. Had to relocate the ballasts for my HIDs, but they're tucked in even higher now.  The horn placement was perfect for my bike and the nice thing abou the WOLO horn is that they give you a relay to use. I added the Ducati logo to make it look a bit more OEM. The only bad thing about the horn is that it comes with some very cheesey looking stickers on it that took some time to remove. So what does it sound like? Imagine a couple of those canned airhorns they use at sporting events. that's exactly what it sounds like. Overall I'm very happy: $30 and an hour or so of work and I have a nice highway blaster!  |

Cowbells work too. You gotta have more of them.  |

2002 S4 has 2 horns facing to the front under the headlight. I know they have a similar setup on the sport classi The Hella horns are loud @118 db. Here is a link for a writeup on them in Webbike World. http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-horns/hella-supertone/Tim |
