RE: [ST] Horn Relay

["Strizver, Chris L" <chris.l.strizver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Also be sure that the relay is rated for at least 15 amp contacts. Don't
want to fry the relay, either. You'd probably just end up with high
resistance contacts and a poor performing horn.

battery.  Don't want to fry your bike.
