Default Sound off on best, loudest horns!

Curious what others are choosing as a replacement horn. I'd like something loud, fairly small and compact. Not a big fan of the those trucker air-horn styles, but I realize they probabl do the job.

I'm on my 3rd Harley, but I still miss the dual 180 Db horns mounted in FRONT of the bike on my old 1977 Honda SS750F. Frigin' loud and in the correct location.

So sound off....what do you like and use?

I laughed out-loud, which I don't normally do!

Those babies move enough air to blow vehicles off the road!

Default Fiamms!

The Germans have always been concerned with vehicle safety, so BMW installed Fiamm dual horns on their motorcycles for years. These horns are not only LOUD, but they produce sounds at both low and high frequencies.

When I installed the Harley Chrome Touring Fan (Parade Fan) on my Ultra Classic, instead of using the replacement horn that was supplied with the Kit, I installed a set of Fiamms mounted where the fuel tank bolts to the frame. All of my riding buddies agree that these are the loudest "non-air" horns that they have ever heard.

With the way folks drive these days (talking on phone, texting, loud music, curling their hair, eating chili-dogs, etc.), folks riding motorcycles need something that will get their attention.

I'll post some photos when I can.

Default Fiamm Horns - Installed

These may be small, but paired together, they can wake the dead!

Although mine came from my stock-pile of old BMW parts, you can buy them on Amazon for about $16.00 each (you need a Hi-tone and a Low-tone), about $200.00 less that some of the other aftermarket horns.

Sorry for the quality of the photos:
