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.
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.
Yeah, our OEM Valkyrie horns were pathetic. BigBF solved that problem though.Originally Posted by shortleg0521
With lots of bikes the horn upgrade is on the short list, ours is so loud there’s not much interest in upgrades. Might find more info on a full wing forum if there’s nothing here.
I had an ST1300 with a wimpy horn prior to the B. The ST1300 forum was filled with horn threads, wondered why there weren't any horn upgrades on this site until I hit the button. I laughed out loud because it sounded ridiculous after the squeak that the ST1300 puts out.
My jacket sometimes catches the switch when stopped and getting something out of the left cubby, kind of embarrassing if I’m in a parking lot.
The issue with the ST was available current to run a louder horn. Check the circuit for the F6B horn, it may be enough for Stebel if that's your preference.
