Alright everyone. Looking to upgrade the horn on my Sprint GT as the stock one's just not good enough in London traffic. I have a Stebel Nautilus on my Futura which is great but like the GT, finding a suitable place to fit it is difficult. On my Aprilia I had to fit it inside the nose cone/ front fairing as there was nowhere else to put it. Any ideas or suggestions,or anyone fitted an alternative horn. So long as it's loud I don't mind. Cheers.
Thanks for the advice on the different types of horn available but I'm more interested in finding the best location to fit it on the bike.
I have the same problem and I too am thinking about an upgrade. There are lots of very cheap Twin Tone Horn sets available. Does anyone know if there is a potential electric problem when fitting two horns into the Sprint's electrical system. I fitted Twin Tone Horns to my last two BMW R1200RT's which have the Canbus electrical system and everything worked fine.
I don't think there's any issue with fitting twin horns providing you use a relay. I wouldn't bother with the cheap version of the snail type horns, I bought some a few years ago and they were pretty useless to be honest . I have used Fiamm AM80S on bikes before which are snail horns, think they're about £30 a pair but the quality of the horns and the sound,compared to the cheaper versions is much better/louder.
Thanks for the info, I never used a relay with the Twin Tone Horns on my BM's I was under the impression that Relays where only required with Air Horns and their operating compressor which would draw a higher current ?.
I'm no auto electrician by any stretch of the imagination but from what I understand if you fit twin horns its advisable to use a relay as opposed to connecting only to original wiring, otherwise the extra current required to power them would cause the fuse to blow. Like I say I'm no expert but that's how I understand it.
Hi, see pics I put on on 15th Nov 18, thread entitled New Air Horns fitted. I believe thee is not much difference at the front end between the Sprint and the GT so you could put a pair of air horns under the fairing, Mine are still there and are very strident.
