Nice find on the Ryder fleet price. Think I will give it a try.If anything I can stick it on my HHR that has a wimpier horn than the bike.

 

This forum is the best. I got one yesterday from Ryder, 6 bucks, fits perfectly and much louder.

 

rdondes,

I went and picked up this horn from Pep-Boys today. I took the horn of my 06 WG and put it on my Triumph, it had a really weak horn. Then I put the Fiamm on my HD. Guess what it is the exact same output (loudness 132 db), and note as the stock HD (Hella) one. I put them side by side and you couldn't tell the difference between them. Only now I have a made in USA horn on my HD and one made on Mexico on my Triumph.

 

I just bought 2 freeway blasters from RyderFleetProducts.com, one high tone and one low tone.
22 bucks shipped is a pretty good deal. Thanks guys for the tip. This forum is great!
Could have been even cheaper if I didn't have them shipped to PA cause they charged me $0.95 for sales tax. Oh well...... <g>

I think I'll mount them on the crossbar between the vertical frame tubes, above the regulator. I'm debating if I'll mount them facing the road or facing the engine.
The issue is protection from rain vs protection from engine heat.

Watcha think?

 

So are you saying there is no difference between the OEM HD Horn and the horn you bought at Pep-Boys?

 

I have a high tone Fiamm I was going to install this winter, anyone using the high tone?

 

My low tone FIAMM was definitely louder. And the tone was much deeper. Instead of a pathetic "meep meep" I now sound like an actual car with a "BONK BONK."

What brand decibel meter did you use to measure your horn's output? Was it calibrated?

 

Well, I for one was underwhelmed. I used the NAPA brand horn (made by FIAMM) "Low Note, 132 decibels", part#730-056, for $17.88. The good news is that it was quite easy and quick to swap it out even though the horn was a little larger and the electrical posts were in an akward place.

I expected that I would be able to clearly hear the difference in loudness, but I could not. I'll have to wait till I get the bike next to another stock bike to see if there is a difference. Oh well, less than $20, no big deal.

Put one of these on my FXD. Sure gets 'em to looking for that truck even on the freeways around L.A.

 

I WANT ONE OF THESE, LISTEN TO THE SOUND CLIP.
