Title should bring a grin to some folk of a certain mindset! :wink:
The horn on my GTR is pathetic to say the least, sounds like it belongs on a Puch Maxi or similar!
That little adjuster screw on the back seems to make no difference whatsoever!
My old GS had a 12v monoblock air horn fitted, effective! See them on eBay, but not sure of the best place to mount it if I get a similar one for the GTR! :undecided:
Any body been through a "horn upgrade" (!) and if so what did you go for and where did you mount it?
Ok, so my horn isn't as active or capable as it was 20 years ago but I'd never go and tell anyone about it! :mfr_lol:

I have fitted the Stebel Nautilus under the right hand top cover.. Works a treat and is mega loud. :banana:
Come on Debs.
This is unlike you no part number or a link to a site or info about fitting.
:mfr_lol: :whistling:
I fitted one of these http://www.rg-racing.com/browsebike/Kawasaki/GTR1400_Concours/2012/DENTT-SB10100B/
It's ok, loud and all that but I prefer a monotone sound as opposed to a dual tone. I guess that's just the truck driver in me.

To say that I'm disappointed in this thread is an understatement. I was expecting something completely different.
Hi all my horn had become corroded, and yes sounded pathetic for such a large bike so I fitted the R&G one the other day and took some photos, whilst doing so, I went for the split style and mounted the compressor under the RH inner cover and mounted the horn behind the radiator, i was planning on making a guide at some point, but if anyone wants some images meantime then please PM me, regards Mark...
Hi
There are details here: -

on how I fitted a Screaming Banshee, it makes a good noise :-)

I just bought some cheap car size air horns off ebay and fitted them under the right fairing, there is a surprising amount of room , there is a pic on here somewhere

Mine is still U/S after 3 yrs of testosterone HRT :mfr_lol:
:clap: :banana: :punk: :mfr_lol:
I have always thought my horn was a bit flaccid. So I am going to replace it. It needs stiffening up in my opinion.
Jim, I suspect that this thread is now entering your levels of expectation :mfr_lol:
Quite!
I have got an electric pump to blow mine

I showed my horn to Charlie today, he agrees with me it's just not stiff enough.

It adds a new dimension to anti turgid :no:

At last.........after 6 months my horn is now performing superbly! :banana:
Thanks 2 eBay and a cost of just over £5 not just horny, but twice as horny!
Even woke the wife up with it after I got it working.........not happy being confronted with that much horn in the morning, but she was well impressed with the effectiveness!
Didn't even have to strap it on, just went where it was designed to work! :grin:

Just look at that girth of horn ................WOW
I trust you've not enhanced them and they are as nature intended ?
Oh yes, used all the original fixtures and fittings utilised, just maximising the allocated area for a tad more growth! :single fuck:
:single fuck: :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol: :punk:
Corrrr, very horny
In my days of inadequacy I was a firm believer in citing "It ain't what you got.....it's the way that you use it! :no:
But now....with my recent upgrade...I can confidently say ......"Bigger the better!" :clap: :banana:

Pure smut.......love it :mfr_lol:
Like many here, I was embarrassed by my horn and because of that, I wouldn't use it very often. Sometimes my wife would complain that she felt I wasn't doing it when I should. I tried to explain things to her and how I felt, but finally decided to take positive action.
I needed something that would get me noticed and chose a ... Split denali soundbomb from R&G.
I've shown my new horn off to several other bikers so far and they've been very impressed. It's all tucked away under the top of the front right fairing with a pipe down to the original mounting block.
Should have done it sooner. I now use my new horn in broad daylight in front of anyone!
Love it! That's the treatment I'm going for!

Got it from R&G
And because I am lazy/incompetent/scared of buggering up my gtr I got their plug'n play wiring harness http://www.rg-racing.com/browsetype/Denali_Sound/Universal/Universal/DENDNLELC10000/
Sorry, didn't take photos while fitting but ... I only:
Took screen off; removed black tank air filter cover thingy where older models have handy cubby-hole
removed glove box and the black inner fairing it fits into ... Removed same on right side
Changed air filter whilst mucking about. Remove eom horn & bracket. Fix new horn sound chamber (this is the split version of the Denali soundbomb) to the bracket, attach air hose & thread that up.
On right side (facing fwd) under the black top trim, there's an almost vertical foam 'bulkhead' with a metal bracket supporting it ... Perfect place to fit the compressor!! But .. I had to remove the foam and unbolt the bracket to widen the thread of one of its pre drilled holes to bolt the compressor to. Then reassemble bracket plus foam and bolt the compressor to it. Fit the air hose and electric connectors from wiring harness first to avoid unnecessary swearing later. Neatly thread wires to connect to ground (frame); oem horn wires and make a direct connection to battery. No need to remove side fairing, wires thread through easily. Make sure all is good and tight, neatly cable clipped.
Before testing, go get ear plugs and make sure the cat is nowhere near, also make sure the cat in the next road is safely tucked up inside (seriously, saw one almost run straight into a wooden fence!).
Smug & happy .... Going to start a league for how many people I can knock over just using my prize horn (yeah ... I know it's sick, but I never claimed I wasn't warped).

They dart right, they dart left
They even stand still
It only works until
A tire marks their final repose
My horn is now manly I have the sound bomb fitted and now people look amazed at the size I mean sound of my horn!
Ok, I'm jealous of all these massive horns! I'm going to have to do something with mine as it is so pathetic I daren't even use it!! :grin:
Massive bike- tiny horn!
Need to fit the denali sound bomb if you want your horn to honk louder and turn heads lol
