I've heard a booza with a air horn, don't know where it was mounted. Would be pretty cool!

any horn rated for 6 volts will scream like her first time when hooked up to 12V.

I'm working on this right now. Man, there isn't much room anywhere. I decided I'm going to split the pump and horn apart, but I'm still having a hard time find a place for the plastic horn where it can access out from under the plastics somewhere. I'll get something figured out.

If you're after an electric horn or small electric airhorn, i was just looking through the service manual and it's states that the factory horn is 12V at 2.5amp draw -- the schematic shows capacity of the horn fuse at 10amps. May need a dedicated circuit for this??? Not sure.......but the electric horns I sell for truck & auto use are 12V with 6-10amp draw with a circuit capacity of up to 40amps and recommending wiring at 14ga. for the first 20 feet in length, and increase wire ga. after 20 ft..........BUT, these are for truck use and usually have at least 10 feet of wire between sources. So, I'd say our bikes factory wiring would be fine as long as it's 14-16ga and we keep the horn within 20 feet of the button!! LOL!! Probably fair well with using a 12V automotive horn and if she pops the fuse, up it to a 20amp! As long as you're not holding the horn button for minutes at a time, it shouldn't be a problem for factory wiring to carry that much more amperage would it?
