Re: Connect signalhorn.
You will need a relay as the horns you have switch the power while the bike switches the ground.
Search horn relay diagram and I'm sure you'll get some good examples. Also if your aftermarket horns are more powerful, you should run a fused wire to the battery as the stock Honda wiring and fuses will be too small.
The green/white is power and the yellow is switched ground.

First off, use a relay as mentioned.zajt@hotmail.com wrote: ↑Sun Oct 02, 2022 9:42 am Hi. I have two aftermarket signal horn with only one + connection on each horn.

Second, the wire from the horn is the positive. The horn uses the frame of the bike as negative via its mount, so it needs to be mounted to a metal part of the bike in order for it to work.
