Tried the Strebel Nautilus but they are heavily gluing the pump to the horn and destroyed it. Found a Chinese exact copy and no glue. It is loud! Automotive lighting Auto part Suzuki Vehicle Advertising

Yep. Gotta do this too. Too many people playing with their cell phones and are not paying attention to anything around them.

If you have time to blow your horn you probably had enough time to avoid the collision. If you can't avoid the collision then why bother blowing the horn. spend your time minimizing the damage.

Rated at 139 but think those theses were pretty close to the horn. I will tell you this thing was loud in my garage and thought it would be much quieter when I had it in the open but oh my gosh this thing is loud even in the open!

Here are another few options: I've got the Compact on my GS and Mother of God, is it terrifyingly loud!

Basically the old Shadow II mod. Did it on mine many years back. It's good to see that now you can get the components already separated, makes the job easier.
Only problem I had was that the provided relay is typically a cheap item and will fail. I replaced mine with a US made one from a NAPA parts dealer.
My installation is nearly identical to 2009 VRSCF in the first post, except for the skull cover. It's surprising how much sound is blocked by a cover or your leg in front of the outlets.

OMG Word of warning

We ride here every Sunday due to the great weather. While we were out yesterday we were sitting in traffic that was moving slowly. The guy behind us kept creeping closer and closer. We would move up and he would keep getting closer. He was looking down most likely playing with his phone and not having his foot all the way down on the brakes. My friend started to get worried that he was going to hit us from the back. I did the logical thing and hit the horn button and gave it a good blast to get his attention. It did and he stopped but then it happen. The lady in the Mercedes next to us started screaming and yelling and jumping around in her car. We were wondering what the hell is wrong with her now. Honestly I did not see her little foo-foo dog with the weak (and full) bladder sitting in her lap. OPPS, My bad.
