Chris,

I installed the Fiamm "Freeway Blaster" horn, available at Pep Boys for
about $15, and I'm very happy with it. I tried some of the other Fiamm
models that don't use the "trumpet" outlet design, and they sound pretty
wimpy by comparison. Also tried two of these together (hi and lo tones), but
couldn't get it all to fit between the the fork tubes and wiring harness.
The single horn replacement is a no-brainer for installation and is
significantly louder than stock. My only complaint is that it sounds a
little too melodious - raspy and nasty would be preferable.
