Re: [ST] Newbie Questions for aftermarket headlights, horns, and heated grips ...

i have found on previous bikes ive had, use a set of Red Fiams available as 
a kit
from Vehicle Wiring Products part number 160036 at GBP 15.75 being italian
they are loud
410-510Hz if you are based in the UK.
Halfords used to do em but a search on the net may find something better.

just seen you are otherside of the water do a search for FIAM. Apologies for 
not
scrolling further down - oops.

Steibel i think are italian too :-D so that should be good for making 
yourself heard
on the highway.  I know FIAM did a compact set of Air Horns in a kit for 
bikes
but that maybe a little over the top. As Dan said probably the better way is 
to do a
Bulb upgrade to Xenon ones (upto 40% more light or slightly higher).  H4 
format i think
unless Triumph changed to now auto standard (here in the UK at least) to H7 
format (smaller
bulb.

Good luck  and hope it all works out.
