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?
Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

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 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...

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
