I don't get it. Almost 40 years of riding bikes,most of them,I didn't even know if the horn worked or not. My guess is,just another product to entice suckers to spend money on.

Its extremely loud and helps get the attention of idiots who insist on texting while driving. Far better than the pathetic meep meep of the factory horn, and it’s also a beautiful show piece.

I just spit my coffee out laughing!! I think you sold me! Haha

Ride safe!

The problem with the horn is simply finding it in an emergency. Most of us are too busy trying to evade the near collision to worry about hitting the horn switch. I often find myself instead turning on my left blinker and by the time I finally find the horn button the idiot that I was trying to get the attention of is already gone on to find his/her next victim.

Glad that worked out for you. She could have just as well swerved right into you.

My question is, how loud are the air horns from the rider’s position?
