steelhorseuk 1,690 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Hi all Any of you clever NC owners out there have any idea what the standard fitted (pathetic) warning horn Db is? I found a replacement that sounds at 110Db as I have some concern about not being heard. (from experience) I sent Honda UK an EMail but they were hopeless. Cheers... Link to post
tc3 1,095 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I tried it the other day as never used it .... 1 db me thinks Link to post

Is it a direct replacement or a additional horn like the Screaming Banshee? Link to post
Guest Emil Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) I ordered a Wolo Bad Boy and will have it installed by the dealer. The stock horn is really weak .. although the aftermarket manufacturer claims of sound levels are ridiculous. Probably measured from 1 cm away.. I hope it will be possible to install it without problems, as it is quite a bit larger than the original one. Edited November 15, 2012 by Emil Link to post
Guest duk2n Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I'm fitting FIAMM Dual AM80S dual horns. I suggest you to use a relay to power the new horn, or you could burn the horn button Link to post
steelhorseuk 1,690 Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 JDA, its a replacement part I think made by moto-tiempo, (italy) 12v with adjustable pitch so they say. Very red!! wil stand out a bit aswell as it is 90mm in diameter. Found it on that web site named after a huge river in South America for a tenner . Link to post
Guest mrmoose Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I found a 110db suitable horn on a well known auction site when I thought of upgrading mine only to have a closer look on the rear of the horn bracket on my S to see it marked 110db. Link to post
Rev Ken 6,331 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I've fitted a Nautilus - it is LOUD but don't know how easy it is to fit to a NC700. If you are upgrading your horn I agree that fitting a relay is necessary if you want to avoid burning out your horn button. You might need a thicker wire to power the horn as my original wires look pretty thin to handle the extra current. Link to post
Guest Emil Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 These horns need a direct connection to the battery and a relay, which is included. I'm just wondering if it will fit because the 700's cover doesn't leave much space there. Link to post
wozza 967 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 All the Jap and Italian firms seem to fit crap horns and they certainly aren't bothered about improving the situation. The best standard horn (by quite some margin) that I've ever come across is fitted to harleys. Link to post

With the noise they make I wonder if they need horns - but thinking it through if the horn has to be heard above the exhaust, it would have to be loud....

Rocker66 34,455 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Standard HD exhaustas are not that loud its the after market ones fitted that are loud. Admitidly some of these are genuine HD products Link to post
wozza 967 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) I was talking about standard horns Rocker. Harley horns are certainly louder than a standard horn on a Jap bike.... People can fart louder than a Jap bike horn....lol Edited November 18, 2012 by wozza Link to post
