    horn upgrade???

    Hi all,
    I haven't found to much info for horn upgrades here on the forum. I had a shadow 1100 a few years back that I put a stebel nautils on. I would like to upgrade the horn on the f6b from the stock to something with a little more "outta my lane!!!!" but not big ol chrome air horns. Anyone upgrade here?
    Thanks all!

    Our bikes currently have a car horn which is nice and loud. The few times I've honked, people pay attention and move outta the way. Not sure what else you want other than moving up to the air horn you mentioned.

    The F6B horn is one of my favorite things about the bike. I think it is probably the best horn on a motorcycle.
    When I have the occasion to use it, people are amazed that it sounds like a car. A big car.
    If I ever did change it, it would be to one of those train horns that need a compressor to run.
    That would be fun!

    I echo comments above, The horn on the F6B is more than adequate., Scare the shit outta myself sometimes when I infrequently and expectantly activate it myself.

    I’m with the above also. The horn for me is for preemptive or after the fact. If your blowing the horn, your not getting out of or away from the trouble at hand. If your really set on a louder horn find a wrecked 1800 Wing and buy the horn off it and add it to your bike.

    With all of you

    Our horn as delivered is way better than the almost horn that was on my trusty
    Valkyrie back in 99. I had to install a set by one of the best mechanics that I have known
    for bikes.
    You wouldpress that button and have to scream as loud as you could.
    Count your blessings my friend.
