Freeway Blaster Horn

[haysenglehart]

I just received my FIAMM Horn from Aerostich wearhouse, model number #72112, low tone. Installed it yesterday, really simple, plugs right in. No electrical needed. I know this is not an air horn like the Steble others are using, but the install is sweet and it sure is louder than stock.

BTW, on sale at Aerostich for $15! It is about the same size as STock, but a little cutting on the inner cowel is necessary for clearance. I removed all the tupperware on the right side, mirror cover, mirror, lower cowl, right cowl. This allowed perfect access to the horn install. Unplug STock, remove. Use included bracket with new horn, one bolt. Plug in to STock wiring harness. Close the tupperware.

The only modification I made was to cut a big hole in the inner cowl for both clearance and to let the sound out. It had three 4" slots for the STock horn noise to pass through. Cut em out, expand the hole, remount. The new horn sticks it's "business" end out and forward slightly. You can barely see it, if you look up and in. But now I can be heard!

I just put in a pair, high & low, of those horns on my ST1100. I am ready for the next cell-phone talking, lane-drifting cager now! HONK!!

I also got the stuff from Aerostich. Still had to run to the autoparts store for extra connectors that I didn't have, but for my first farkle, so far so good. (Tupperware still scattered around the garage, but JR says he's only a phone call away if I've got any screws left over when I'm done. :))

I used one relay for the horn, and wired it to the Centech fuse block I put in the left pocket. Both the block and wire to the horns I made "pluggable" so I could detach the pocket when I need to get it off. I used one of the brackets that came with the horns to more-or-less replace the original horn, and then fashioned a second bracket from a piece of aluminum yardstick I had already cut up for some other purpose. The accessory block is powered from the battery, but controlled by a 2nd relay that taps off an ignition-switched circuit at the main fuseblock. There's a few pictures of the wiring in the gallery (http://www.st-owners.com/pp_gallery/showgallery.php?cat=510).

Guess I'll go by O'Reilly and get one... $14.99 in stock :eek: I've been neglecting this area of my baby... time for an upgrade :)

I've turned otherwise normal colored hair blue with the horn after having someone drift in my lane.

:rocket1: I bought mine at auto zone, 136 decibel, $15, 2 hours to install getting the mount bracket bent correctly to fit within the cowl w/o mods, (Cutting , etc.)
Loud!

Is your new horn the FIAMM model also??.... :rocket1:

Thanks....

You said "Plugs into the stock wiring"

That does make things easier. It also limits your volume. Louder horns draw more current than stock, and the dinky wiring limits current flow. When you get time, add a relay, some 14 gauge (or heavier) wire direct from the battery, and I think you'll be surprised at how much louder it is.

Papa and SheRob,
since it appears that you each bought one from different places (O'Reilly's and Auto Zone), do either of you have the part number for your respective stores? I see that Aerostich's is 72112, but am more interested in the others as they are on my way home! :)
