Meant to ask, are they as LOOOUUUD as Stebels?

Please excuse my idiotic question but  do you need any relays with these or can you just fit extra wires in to the existing horn wiring for these to work ??  (I'm an electrical dunce)

The original horn has a relay but it's "upstream" (closer to the horn fuse/battery) than the connectors that clip onto the horn. So no, you dont need an additional relay for these. You can wire the two together as shown here - in electricians parlance is called "wiring the two in parallel". Each horn will see half the total available circuit current, but if the mechanics of the replacement horn are better than the shitty original, then you end up with a better sound. As others have posted though, it will never be as good as the air horns (which seem like a dog to mount on the GTR and draw even more current - that's why they need a separate relay).

Ordered these today. According to the specs, they're the same db level as Stebels at 115 db.

We'll see.

I've fitted my PIAA's this morning. Pressed horn button - Nothing!

Fuse is ok.

Wiring, as far as I can tell to diagram is ok. There is no colours on the wiring diagram, nor is there any + or -  positive/negative on the horn terminals.

The instructions are in Japanese! 

The only thing I'm thinking of is that I have removed the Y bracket.

I don't have a voltage test meter so can't test anything!

I'm scratching my head here . . .

OK. Sorted now. 

I refitted the Y bracket. Must have been acting as an earth.

Nice sound

I agree nice sound.
the only thing I added to mine was a piece of sticky backed waterproof foam between the horns as they are quite close only thinking about vibration
