Air Horns

[kj5ix]

Finding a place to mount good air horns on the RSV in particular is a little challenging. There are mounting brackets to make or buy, and then which horn to get. I have a Sable on the Honda, and the Venture. Both are hidden under the front faring ( not a particularly easy thing on the Honda 1800 ) I have seen threads where people have said that the Sable wouldn't fit under the faring of the Venture.......... (without some modification) Here is where I mounted mine (without any mods) Taped in the lower left stock horn for the trigger, and wired the relay direct to the battery. I did have the Trike down to the frame when this was done, but it is easy to split the faring, and run the wiring with a fish wire if the tank is on too.<br />

You ain't jokin on that.......
If you look hard you can see the same horn way up in the nose of the 1800,,, now you talk about FUN

I mounted my Stebel right on the engine guard on the right side with the horn facing forward - they can definitely hear it! Looks like you did good on the mounting with the challenges your bike presented.

Oh the Venture was a snap compared to the Honda
Splitting the Honda faring nose is real challenging to say the least there is room under the RSV for another bed room,,,,,,,,,,,,:yes:

Nicely done there George. I can't wait for the pics and manual. Now that the garage is getting cooler, will this install require sitting on the garage floor?

Not really, but a Hi-Chair sure would come in handy,,,,,,,
