Decent Audible warning Device for my 500 ?

<< < (2/2)

400/4 horn but principle the same in link below. Sounds good news if you get a click. Most are open circuit because they get a non-conductive film forming on the contacts. If you can't get the thing to work on the M4 screw then the adjust the large central 'pole-piece' one with ultra fine thead. Anybody remember when 'Fiamms' were the aftermarket accessory for the 400/4 along with a 'Cibie' headlamp.  :)

I had Fiamm air horns on my 500 (avatar)

The compressor was the size of a pint beer mug and heavier.

They were loud but there was a definite time lag between pressing the button and the noise arriving.

Let’s face it, how often do you need a loud horn.

My dad always said “if you’ve got time to press the horn button, you’ve got time to take avoiding action.”

No it was this type Steve that was de-rigueur on the CB400F back in the day.

They were FIAMM electromechanical horns, I believe. Had some on an old bike, they also made air horns.
