Fitting an Air Horn!

I decided to upgrade the horn because the stock horn was dire. I ended up buying a 139dB Stebel Magnum horn off ebay for about £11 which wasn't too bad. It was just a simple swap over.




Fitting the air horn.
Here's the stock horn :)




I had to take this thing that held the Huoniao badge on before I took it off, off. I just took the two bolts off, removed it then put the bolts back on as I didn't know whether something would fall to bits if they weren't on lol.



It was held on by a bracket and two nuts, one attaching to the horn and one on the fork assembly bit. I had to undo these and it just came off.



It was connected by two spade connectors, I used a screwdriver to get em off as they usually hold on pretty tightly.



Here it is connected up and bracketed in. As you can see I had to bend the connectors so they faced up instead of horizontally as it was pressing against the frame and that wasn't good ;)



And here is the finished thing :D How sexy! Louder than stock and not as embaressing ;) Heh!
If anyone else is going to install one, remember to face the horn horizontally and slightly downwards so if any rain gets in it, it will run off it and not into it. Job well done!
