Here's a good article about horn replacement - made even better by the fact that they used a Gold Wing as a model! LOL

Re: Horn replacement
I did that way back on my 78....
I got the horns from a 75 F150 truck,added the relay and really annoyed the vehicle inspector when he had me blow the horn.
He was standing right at the front wheel......
I did suggest that he move away a bit...but Nooooo.....just blow the horn he said.
To this day,he won't inspect my bikes anymore.

Re: Horn replacement
I did exactly this on my GL1100, putting a set of FIAMM Freeway Blasters in. I put one of those same horns on my wife's Virago (also with a relay), and again on my GL1500, which had the stock factory horns disconnected in favor of air horns. I left the air horns installed, but added a relay, and reconnected the factory horns, so they all three go at the same time. It's very loud. I'm about to repeat this procedure on my wife's PC800.

Re: Horn replacement
Yes, very good info, have also made a note to myself, to upgrade the horns on the 75 as I am redoing it. Thanks for that link.
